Description: | A cast copper-alloy sub-triangular decorative mount of post-medieval date. The mount is symmetrical down its vertical axis, with lobed edges and a trefoil terminal. The end opposite the trefoil is squared off with a central semicircular protrusion. The flat upper surface is decorated with floriate patterns moulded in low relief. The lower surface is plain, with a pair of spikes which have both been almost completely truncated. Brass mounts of such construction and decoration tend to be dated to the 17th century. This example has a dull mid-dark green colour with areas of lighter corrosion product and patches of red-brown metal showing through. One of the corners has been bent downwards as a result of old damage and the mount has otherwise been slightly bent in profile.
