Description: | An incomplete cast tin-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The main body of the mount is sub-oval with a circular protrusion at each narrow end. Each terminal element is decorated with crude diagonal incisions. On the lower face, at the junction of the terminal elements with the main body, are two pointed lugs: one broken, the other intact and curving inwards towards the centre. In profile the mount is slightly convex. Areas of black coating remain on the upper surface. A similar mount can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 36; ref. 308). Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting in around the 17th century AD.
