Description: | A cast copper alloy mount.
The mount comprises three elements, cast integrally. A tear-shaped, domed plate of copper alloy forms the main part of the mount. Either side of this there are two knops (one bigger than the other) decorated with incised radiating lines.
Both knops have four engraved lines, forming a shell like design.
The reverse is concave, with two iron attachment spikes, both have now broken off. These would have held the mount onto either wood or leather. There is corrosion on both sides and the mount appears to be complete apart from the broken spikes. The surface of the object is worn. It is a dark brownish-green colour. The mount is 16th ? 17th century in date.
