Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy gilded mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical, with rounded terminals and six knopped mouldings: one at each corner and two central. Any decoration on the surface has been hidden by the corrosion. The reverse features a pair of bent, pointed 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.
