Description: | A worn but complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is asymmetrical, terminating in a trefoil head. Below this the body expands before contracting to a small circular element which itself terminates in a knop. The mount is decorated by tinning under which the red-brown metal can be seen. On the reverse there a pair of pointed lugs bent round towards each other: one is towards the base of the trefoil, the other at the junction of the body and circular element. In its form and dimensions the object is similar to mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 34; ref. 285ff.) which are dated to around the seventeenth century.
