Description: | A corroded and probably incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is circular in plan with a now abraded circumference in places. As with a mount of comparable size illustrated in Read (2001, 33; ref. 264) it has a central lozengiform perforation (c. 5.0mm). The edges of this hole have not been fully filed down. On the flat lower surface, towards the circumference on opposing sides, are the ?truncated remains of a pair of integral lugs; one is bent slightly to one side (max. H.: 5.7mm). The upper surface is slightly bevelled at the circumference. It is decorated with semi-circles in relief at the circumference, within which a wavy circle that surrounds the perforation. The artefact has corroded to a red-brown metal over which is light-green and a yellowy corrosion product and traces of a grey patina.
