Description: | A copper alloy oval mount which is probably post medieval. The mount has a raised centre surrounded by an oval flange. The flange is decorated with a ropework border and the centre has a raised band round the edge and a central cross with flared trifoliate terminals at the ends of the arms and a depressed dot in the centre of ach arm. The base of the mount is convex, but it is unclear whether this was intentional to fix to a curved object, or damage. The reverse is hollow and there are the remains of a ferrous central rivet. The mount is 14.6mm long, 11.8mm wide and 3.3mm thick. It is an even dark brown colour with ferrous corrosion on the reverse. No good parallels have been found but the decoration suggests a post-medieval date.
