Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval strap mount in the form of a moulded clover leaf. The trefoil mount has a wavy stem that bends one way, then the other. The stem is flat on its lower surface and bevelled on its upper surface. The leaves are shallowly convex, each with a recess on the lower surface. The lower surface features a pair of pointed lugs aligned longitudinally. Both lugs have been bent, to opposing sides. The upper surface appears to bear punched decoration, including a central circular punch, although corrosion has left this indistinct. The object is now a largely dark grey colour, the metal below being a green colour with flecks of orange. A similar mount can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 34; ref. 281). They date approximately to the 17th century.
