Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy suspension mount of probable Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1650). Length: 30.1mm; width: 31.2mm; thickness: 2.6mm; weight: 3.91g.The mount is sub-lozenge shaped with an integral hook which is incomplete due to an old break. At the front the plate, the main part of the mount, is slightly convex and at the rear it is flat. The shank of the hook is sub-oval in cross-section. Two rivet holes in the plate are circular each with a diameter of about 3.3mm. This object has no patina and the surface colour is a dull reddish brown. It also has patches of bright green copper alloy corrosion products.
