Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy and enamelled mount of 17th century date (1600-1700).The mount is largely sub-oval in plan and has a small knop at each end. It is slightly convex at the front and except for the integral rivets, the rear is flat. The front is decorated with a raised elaborate fleur-de-lis motif the surface of which has traces of white metal coating, probably silver. The field created by this design and the slightly raised border is filled with enamel coloured white at the top, blue at the centre and yellow at the bottom. Both rivets, 'D'-shaped in cross-section, are turned inwards along the centre-line, towards the centre. Flecks of a mid-green patina are visible and the rear face is slightly corroded. 23.9 x 12.3 x 6.1mm. Weight: 3.25g.Compare with a similar mount from Kensworth Parish, Bedfordshire. See.
