Description: | A corroded Post Medieval cast copper alloy decorative openwork mount. In the centre of the front face a cherub is depicted. Emanating from the mouth of the cherub there is a twin channel ribbon representing the blown wind. It takes the form of an upright openwork double loop pattern on either side of the face. Where the loops constrict at the centre there is a foliate design to the outside flank. Above the head of the cherub the mount has a small rounded knop and below on the opposite side of the mount a bigger more rounded knop is present. The reverse has the remaining stumps of the mounting pins one of which survives almost complete. There are a number of other parallels on the PAS database cf. SWYOR-354D47 and WILT-B60094 the date range for which is circa 1600-1800 AD.
