Description: | A complete and slightly misshapen cast copper alloy mount of Post-Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length: 26.5mm; width: 11.2mm and 5.6mm thick. Weight: 1.98g. The mount is largely pointed oval in plan and has a trefoil knop at one end and a smaller single knop at the opposite end. The front is moulded and has a raised border containing a raised six-petalled flower motif. The rear face is flat and has two integral spikes situated along the longitudinal centre-line, one at each end. These spikes are circular in cross-section and have a maximum diameter of 1.9mm; they taper slightly to a blunt rounded end. A patina has not survived and the surface colour of the metal is reddish brown. There are also deposits of copper alloy corrosion products, particularly on the rear face.
