Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy mount of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1700). Length: 23.4 mm, width: 11.8 mm, thickness: 6.1 mm and weight: 2.71 g. The mount is shield-shaped and is moulded at the front and slightly convex at the rear. Viewing the mount with the straight "top" of the shield to the left, the front has an animal motif facing left. This animal resembles a running dog with its front legs raised to the fore. In front of the dog is a flower-like motif. The rear face has two integral spikes along the longitudinal centre-line. These are circular in cross-section and one is complete and bent over, and the other is broken. The front face has a shiny brown patina, and was probably tinned. An identical example already on the database is IOW-23EEE5.
