Description: | A corroded cast copper-alloy furniture mount (escutcheon plate) of post-medieval date. The mount is a circular back plate probably for a drawer handle. It has a central sub-square aperture c. 5.2mm wide. The front is decorated in low relief with a central motif of eight radiating rays. There are four equally spaced pellets between the rays, alternating with four three-leaved flowers, and eight equally spaced pellets at the circumference aligned with the rays. The metal is a red-brown colour which is largely covered in off-white and some light-green corrosion product. One half of the mount has been bent upwards. For plates bearing a comparable design see SUR-A80921, NMS-152291 and NMS-F14277 on this database.
