Description: | A copper-alloy mount of post-Medieval (probably 17th century) date.The mount is of thin section and has flat surfaces. The upper element takes the form of an openwork fleur-de-lis, the curvature of the two outer petals creating a pair of circular apertures. At its base the lis flares outwards into an inverted cordate element. On the reverse of the mount is a pair of integrally cast rivets, both located centrally, one at the top and one at the bottom. These rivets have been deliberately bent towards the centre, which would have secured them to the leather strap, a small portion of which survives. The object measures 41mm long, 22.3mm wide and 2.5mm thick (not including the rivets). The weight is 8.39g.
