Description: | A corroded but seemingly complete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat and longitudinally symmetrical, with generally rounded terminals, incurving sides and a pointed median band. At one of the terminals is a central pointed protrusion. The upper surface is decorated with low ridges emanating from the median band which itself has a central transverse ridge flanked by ridges on each side. The reverse features an off-centre pointed lug, possibly incomplete. The mount's construction and decoration suggests a c. 17th-century date for it. Mounts of similar form can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 36; ref. 311ff.). This piece is of red-brown colour with overlying light green corrosion product and slight traces of gilding.
