Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy mount of probable 16th or 17th century date. The mount takes the form of a plate with a slightly D shaped section, flat back and slightly thickened centre on the front. The plate has a central oval to one side of which is a constriction then a circular expansion with a projecting terminal knop beyond; to the other side of the center is a slight neck at the end of which is a smaller oval plate with again a projecting terminal knop, larger and more pointed than the first. The main plate has a design of a central stamped annulet surrounded by a lozenge of nine more annulets. There is also a border fo stamped annulets around the central plate and possibly more annulets on the circular plate flanking it. Further details of the design are obscured by wear. There are traces of gilding on the front. On the back are two integral attachment spikes, they are flat and taper gradually from a wide base to pointed tip. The spikes start near each end and are bent over at 90 degrees both pointing towards the end with the circular expansion. The mount measures 34.5mm long, 17.5mm wide and 3.1mm thick excludng the spikes, 6.8mm thick including. The weight is 5.97 g. WAW-D1BDA1 is similar but with different patterning on the front.
