Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical, with rounded terminals and an outcurving centre. The upper surface is decorated in low relief with foliate patterns within three lozenges in the three sections of the field: the two ends and the outcurving central element. The reverse features a pair of large rounded lugs which begin at the extremities of the terminals and curve round towards each other until they almost join. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date for it. Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting.
