Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy decorative mount with catch fitting (16th century). The mount is kidney-shaped with a tab projecting from the centre of the lower surface. The bottom edge of the tab is cut to form a point and in the centre of the point is a rivet hole. There are two further crude holes in the body of the mount, irregularly placed. Midway up the tab is another perforation with a catch attachment secured within it. The catch attachment comprises a post with a semi-circular terminal where a corresponding element would slot over it and by twisting the second element it would securely from this mount. The front surface of the mount is decoration with a simple engraved floral pattern - a flower with three petals and a leaf to each side. There is a double linear stamped border around the edge. There is a very similar mount, also found by this finder, recorded on the database - LON-03A336, this example does not have the catch attachment, although it does have a perforation where it may have been.Identification by Hazel Forsyth, Senior Post Medieval Curator, Museum of London.Dimensions: length: 40.46mm; width: 38.14mm; thickness: 7.53mm; weight: 2.82g
