Description: | A cast copper-alloy openwork mount of post-medieval date (c. 17th century). The object is broadly hexagonal in form with incurved sides and knopped protrusions at the apexes. There is a central perforation flanked at the cardinal points by shallowly moulded semicircles. Around this are twelve equally spaced holes that follow the sides. Some of these have not been finished in their filing. Basic diverging mouldings flank these holes, widening and they approach the sides. There is a further small transverse moulding before each knop. On the flat reverse surface are two pointed lugs at the centre of opposing incurved sides. They survive intact, slightly misaligned (L.: c. 13.3mm). The artefact has been bent in profile slightly as a result of old damage. It has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product in places. It can be paralleled on this database: refs. ESS-CA17C6, LON-419331.
