Description: | A decorative copper-alloy mount of Post-Medieval date. It has a moulded fleur-de-lis terminal at the top with small central groove and narrow waist. At the base of the fleur the arms to either side extend horizontally and thicken, ending in rounded outer edges with moulded grooves running along their length and single pellets at each end. The central arm of the fleur expands to form a semi-circular plate that has a central moulded floral motif and circular terminal knop at its base. The front face of the object has traces of gilding. The back face is flat and has the remains of two integrally cast cylindrical rivets positioned at the top and bottom of the mount. It measures 45.97mm in length, 29.18mm in width, 2.52mm in thickness, and weighs 7.81g. This is a decorative mount of Post-Medieval date, probably dating to the 17th century AD if not a little earlier.
