Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of probable 17th century date. The main, central element of the mount is sub-oval in plan, tapering at the bottom into a pointed knob. The upper half of this central portion has a moulded pattern of lozenge-shaped panels, separated from each other by cross-hatched grooves. A plain transverse ridge divides the upper half from the plain lower half. At the top is a broken projection. The overall appearance of the mount is similar to an acorn. On the reverse are two integral rivets. The upper one, situated just down from the top edge, has been bent inwards; the lower rivet is angled downwards slightly.The mount measures 37.3mm long, 20mm wide and 5.7mm thick (including the rivets). The weight is 4.33g.
