Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy figurative mount (AD1500-1650). The mount is ?bird shaped ion plan with the head and beak expanding to semi-circular spread wings before narrowing then expanding to form a tri-lobed spread tail. The front of the mount is decorated by fine moulded raised lines. Over the 'wings' these lines are cross-hatched fanning out from the 'tail' and over the 'tail' there are parallel lines aligned lengthways. The reverse is slightly hollowed with the remains of one spike that originally form one of a pair of bent over spikes. Patchy dark green patina with areas of red base metal showing through.
