Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount of post-Medieval, seventeenth century date (1600-1700). Length: 29.6mm; width: 12.0mm; thickness: 7.6mm; weight: 3.92g.The mount is sub-triangular in plan. At the centre of the shorter edge there is a small projecting lobe. From this end, the sides curve inwards towards a pointed end consisting of two horizontal ribs and a terminal knop. A central groove extends from the projecting lobe to the first rib. The surface either side of the groove is slightly concave. The rear face is flat and has two tapering integral spikes situated on the longitudinal centre-line. These are circular in cross-section and their ends are turned inwards towards each other.The mount is largely corroded with loose bright green copper alloy corrosion products. However, at the front there are traces of a dark green patina.
