Description: | A Post Medieval cast copper alloy figurative shell-shaped mount probably dating to the 16th - 17th century. The mount has three integral bent-over spikes and an irregular perforation at the base of the shell. One of the spikes is broken and there is a crack across the base of the perforation. The mount is cast in the form of a scallop shell with radiating lines depicting the detail of the shell, below the base of the shell is a rectangular tab and the perforation sits across this tab and the base of the shell. The perforation is an irregular shape which may be down to extensive wear. The copper alloy has a patchy green patina which reveals the red brown underlying metal.Dimensions: length: 28.82mm; width: 30.55mm; thickness: 1.88mm; weight: 6.60g.
