Description: | Cast copper alloy probable mount of post Medieval date. The mount consists of a flat irregular shaped plate with an integrally cast flat prong (or possibly a flattened hook) protruding from the narrower end and evidence of a break at the opposite wider end, possibly where a second prong existed or where an attachment loop was located. The reverse of the plate is plain and the front is decorated with a slightly raised plain border dividing the plate into two fields containing stippling. The mount was probably applied to a leatherwork item.At the time of writing this no good parallel for the object has been found but based on the design of the object it has been dated c.1600-1800.
