Description: | Post Medieval cast copper mount dating to the 16th or 17th centuries. The mount is in the form of a large circular boss with a projection to one side. The boss has a hollow back and convex front which rises in three steps to a central pellet, between the second and third step is a double incised ring. The edges of the boss are irregular and slightly damaged but it seems probable there was only ever one projection. The projecting piece is in the form of a circular lobe with a smaller lobed terminal beyond, both are convex on the front and the larger lobe has a hollow back. From the back of the terminal lobe and from the rim of the boss, at the point it meets the projection and at the opposite point, rise three integral spikes for attachment. The two by the projection are bent in the same direction while the one at the other end is straight and has lost it's tip. It is 34.3mm long, 20.9mm wide and 16.2mm thick; it weighs 7.74 grams. There are traces of tinning on the front.
