Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy hooked mount of possible medieval to post-medieval date.The remainder of the cast object has three decorative panels, each separated from the next by a moulded transverse ridge. Two of the panels have rivet holes - one containing the corroded remnants of an iron rivet - whilst the central panel has a decorative circular recess. The mount narrows towards the bottom. A double moulded ridge marks the bottom of the decorative panels and the start of the bottom section. This bottom section is bent back towards the flat underside of the mount. At the end is half of a rivet hole; this is roughly level with the iron rivet in the upper part of the mount, suggesting the rivet would orginally have held the hooked section to the back of the upper section of the mount, perhaps securing a leather strap in between. The object measures 37.1mm long, 4.4mm wide and 8.5mm thick. The weight is 4.08g.
