Description: | A copper alloy mount dating from the Post Medieval or Modern period. It appears to have been designed to hold a rod. It has a central area which is humped, leaving a U shaped tunnel behind, in which a slender rod could slot. This area is decorated with moulded cross hatching in the centre, flanked by moulded foliage at each end. At each side of this tunnel, a flat flange projects. Each flange is sub rectangular with rounded corners and a concave outer edge. There are two large rivet holes in each flange, one in each rounded corner. These holes appear to be countersunk for screws, suggesting a quite late date. All but one of the holes are broken. The metal has a reddish colour, and very think green patina in places. It is not known what object this mount comes from, but a nineteenth century date is suggested.
