Description: | A large copper alloy hooked mount with one separate and one integral rivet and pendant fitting. The main body of the ount is a sub-circular dome with a pierced lug at the top and a backward projecting hook at the base. The lug is narrowed from the body of the mount and has a transverse collar at the base and a small knop projecting from the top. The pierced hole is circular and would have had a rivet for attachement. Above the hook is a transverse collar comprising two bands. The hook is oval sectioned. Hanging from the hook is a trefoil shaped attachement. Each foil has a large, sub-circular hole. Two of these swho signs of wear at the edges from attachement to the hook and another fitting. At the back the main body and the lug are concave whilst the collar above the hook is solid with a oval sectioned integral rivet or stud at the centre. A broadly similar mount (althougy the top lug is different and the main part is narrower than this object) with a siilar trefoil attachment can be seen in B Read, 2000, "Metal Artefacts of Antiquity", p. 30 & 42, fig. 25, No. 362, dated to the 17th century.Date: Post-medievalDimensions:Weight:
