Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy quatrefoil mount of probable post-medieval date. The mount is formed of a thick sheet moulded into a convex form with an engraved cross across the centre; each petal is domed. Central on the lower surface emerges a thick, faceted, broadly square-sectioned shank, curving to one side at its tip.The metal has corroded to a red-brown colour with patches of green corrosion product; the lower surface is covered in off-white and green corrosion product. The colour is consistent with gilding although no gilt survives. There is a small nick to the edge at one point. The size of the stud suggests that it was a harness fitting.
