Description: | Post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount, probably 17th century. This is a hooked mount with separate rivets and a separate pendant fitting without rivets. The hooked mount has a hook at one end, a rectangular shaft which flares outwards towards the opposite end of the mount and it terminates in two lugs. The main section of shaft has two parallel rivet holes, one at either end of the shaft, both blocked by the remains of two rivets. A separate circular sectioned annular loop is suspended from the hook. The surface of the mount is very abraded with exposed surfaces showing either a light green patina or a brown corrosion. It measures 29.44mm long, 11.06mm wide, is 1.22mm thick, the diameter of the loop is 10.56mm and it weighs 2.27g. Parallels can be found in Read, B. 2001.
