Description: | A post-medieval unidentified copper alloy, flat sectioned, openwork object consisting of a reverse S-shaped curve which terminates at the upper end in a grotesque head with a pointed chin, bulbous nose, moulded eye and possible ear, and a projection from the back of the head which terminates in a spiral. There is a further trefoil projection from the upper concave edge, and an incomplete, possibly foliate trefoil projection from the lower concave edge. There are curved impressions on the lower half of the S and on the foliate projection. The lower terminal of the S continues as a straight bar with bevelled edges, parallel with a straight bar which projects from the back of the upper curve, both of which are broken. It is possibly a furniture mount or architectural fitting. It is 87mm in length and the surviving width is 63mm. It probably dates from the 17th century.
