Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval strap mount in the form of a moulded fleur-de-lys. It is openwork due to circular perforations between the side petals and the main lobe; the side petals curve round to join a moulded 'rope' formed of a main transverse ridge flanked by grooves above and below. Below the rope the three 'stems' protrude, although one of these is truncated. The reverse features a pair of pointed lugs aligned longitudinally. Both lugs have been bent. Both are surrounded by surviving leather. A number of these mounts are attested in the literature (e.g. Read 2001, 37; ref. 336). They date approximately to the 17th century.
