Description: | A complete but corroded cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical. It is formed of two joined circular bosses, each with a prominent central pellet. At the edges where the circles join are rounded protrusions. The upper surface is moulded around the pellets, but the decoration is difficult to discern due to corrosion; it probably is formed of ridges radiating from the pellets like a flower. The lower surface of the mount features a pair of long lugs which begin at the extremities and curve round towards, with one diving under the other. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date. It is now a dark red-brown colour with overlying grey/green corrosion product. Such a mount would have probably functioned as a strap fitting.
