They are divided by a smaller sub-rectangular feature at the centre consisting of three transverse parallel ribs. The rear is flat and at each extreme ends there is a tapering integral spike/rivet. One rivet, now incomplete, projects 90° from the plane of the mount plate. The other complete rivet projects from the plate at the same angle but then turns outwards at a 90° angle The mount is corroded and has traces of a mid-green patina. There is no sign of any surface treatment. 23.4 x 6.3 x 7.1mm. Weight: 1.75g. The overall length is 29.0mm. Read (2001) illustrates a similar mount (28, fig 21, ref: 314) which is dated 17th century.
