Description: | A complete post medieval copper alloy S-shaped mount, probably dating 16th - 17th century. The mount has been made from a piece of circular-sectioned copper alloy wire, approximately 1.0mm in diameter. This has been shaped into an S and flattened at each end. These flattened terminals have been pierced to leave a sub-rectangular hole through which the mount could be sewn onto a strap or item of clothing. The mount is hardly worn and has a bright gold surface colour. There is some dark concretion within each of the pierced holes. This object is very similar to chain mail and may be a chain mail link that has been worked to form a spangle.Dimensions: length: 12.8mm; width: 8.6mm; diameter: 1.0mm; weight: 0.20g.
