Description: | A cast copper alloy, gilded mount in the form of a flower or Tudor rose, formed of five petals. The details of the petals have been finely drawn out with incised lines. There is a raised pellet in the centre of the flower. Projecting up from the flower is an open, triangular loop, with a small knop at the terminal proper. Below the flower (on the same axis) is a short flower stem, which is bent at the end. There are two projecting spikes on the reverse for attachment. The tips of the spikes have broken off, the breaks are worn. The reverse is flat. The object is worn, with a mid reddish-red patina. Traces of gilding survive. This object dates to the 16th - 18th century.
