Description: | A gilt copper-alloy mount (probably) of post-Medieval date. The mount is conical, hollow and bears moulded decoration on its upper surface. The decoration takes the form of a flower head, with a circular centre at the point, and eight petals around the angled side. At the base is a flattened rim with a band of oval mouldings. Two wire-like prongs extend from the centre of the reverse. The upper surface retains much of its original gilding. The artefact measures 26.7mm in diameter, 25.2mm high and weighs 10.17g.No parallel could be found for this piece. It is likely to be either a clothing accessory or a horse harness decoration.
