Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is of flat quadrilateral shape, a form described mathematically as a kite. On the reverse face is a pair of pointed lugs which both face in the same direction; these are suggestive of a c. 17th-century date. In profile one can see that the most acute point of the mount has been bent downwards. The upper face of the mount is undecorated, although the predominant red surface colour is suggestive of gilding processes. Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting.
