Description: | A complete and misshapen cast copper alloy and gilded mount of Post-Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length: 24.3mm; width: 17.5mm and 8.1mm thick. Weight: 2.03g.The mount is lozenge-shaped in plan and is flat at the front and rear. At the front it is decorated with a border of pellets enclosing lines of similar pellets. The rear face has two integral spikes on the longitudinal centre-line. Both of the tapering spikes are square in cross-section. The object is mainly corroded overall but has some light green patina surviving in crevices. Traces of gilding are visible at the front but not at the rear. Where a patina has not survived the surface colour of the metal is dull reddish. A similar gilded mount has been published and dated by Read to c. 17th century (Read 2001, 28, fig. 19, ref. 284).
