Description: | A complete cast and gilded copper alloy mount of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1700 - c. D 1800). Length 41.5mm, width 13.1mm and 1.4mm thick. Weight 5.05g.The mount is symmetrical in plan with a moulded design on the front face. It is rectangular with a projecting sub-triangular element at each end. The rectangular part is 23.0mm in length and 13.0mm in width and is defined by a slightly raised narrow border. Within the border is an arrangement of abstract floral and tendril motifs opposed and symmetrical. Beyond this rectangular area each end contains a perforation in the form of a sub-circular hole which has a maximum diameter of about 3.3mm. Around the holes a simple tendril motif extends to the outer edge creating a five-lobed profile. The rear face is flat except for two complete integral spikes. These are situated along the longitudinal centre-line, each being quite close to one of the sub-circular perforations. The spikes have a maximum diameter of about 2.2mm and taper slightly towards a blunt rounded point where the diameter is about 2.0mm.The mount is corroded on the front face and has traces of gilding. The rear face is mainly covered in a light green patina but there are no traces of gilding.
