Description: | Complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount, 1500-1700 AD. The geometric-shaped mount has moulded decoration of alternating raised borders and pellet borders, following the shape of the mount. In the centre of the mount is a raised pointed oval. A flat, round knop projects from the top of the mount, and this has a raised circle in the centre. A flat, pointed knop projects from the lowest point of the mount, and this has a raised circle in the centre. The entire front surface of this unusual mount has been gilded. On the reverse of the mount two internally-cast rivets project from the upper and lower points of the central shape, slightly inset from the terminals. The rivets are off-centre. The mount is 28.3mm long, 11.8mm wide and 2.1mm thick. It weighs 2.44 grams.
