Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount or stud with integral rivet of late medieval/early post-medieval date. The body of the mount is in the form of a sun or star with six wavy rays or arms. Each arm curves one way, with the tip curving the other, as with an artefact illustrated in Saunders ed. (2001, 112; ref. 69). Each arms is moulded on its upper surface with a flat top and bevelled sides; the lower surface is completely flat. A tapering integral rivet emerges from around the centre of the lower surface. The shank has a square cross-section. It has been bent over at an angle as a result of old damage. Some of the arms have also been bent down slightly. The object has corroded to a greyish colour with some patches of light green corrosion product.
