Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount in the form of a fleur-de-lis. It is openwork due to circular perforations between the side petals and the main lobe; the side petals curve round to join a 'rope' formed of a ridge. Below the rope the three 'stems' protrude, one of which has been broken off. The reverse feature a pair of abraded lugs aligned longitudinally, and bent outwards in different directions. A number of such mounts are attested in the literature (e.g. Read 2001, 37; ref. 336) and on this database - see WILT-3846F4. They date approximately to the 17th century. This example has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of green corrosion product.
