Description: | A copper alloy Post-Medieval mount, probably from a casket or item of furniture. It consists of a narrow rectangular bar 54.15mm in surviving length and 4.25m in width. The bar has moulded decoration of transverse lines, not present on the underside. One of its terminals is incomplete due to old breaks, and is expanded to form a circular rivet hole, across which it is broken off. At the opposite end there is a complete integral rivet hole set 5mm from the terminal. At the centre of the object is a projection set at right angles, which is rectangular with a curved, 'axe-shaped' head with incised linear decoration. This projection tapers from 4mm in thickness at the bar to 2mm at the axe-shaped terminal, and is 21.6mm in length. The mount weighs 10.74g.
