Description: | A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and symmetrical, with rounded terminals and an outcurving centre. The upper surface is decorated in low relief with foliate patterns within three lozenges in the three sections of the field: the two ends and the outcurving central element. The reverse features a pair of large rounded lugs which begin at the extremities of the terminals and would have curved round towards the centre. One has been broken before it begins to curve; the other is bent to one side. The upper section attached to the latter has been bent downwards slightly. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date for it. It has corroded to a dark colour with coverings of light corrosion product. A parallel can be found on this database: ref. HAMP-C36A88.
