Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy mount with integral attachment spikes dating to the 16th or 17th century AD. The mount has a flat plate with bevelled edges. It is in the shape of a branch or flower with a short stem at the base above which are two projecting leaves on either side which curve round to meet at their tips creating circular holes between them. Above these leaves, the plate is in the shape of three ovals in a row, decreasing in size to the top. The front has moulded decoration, it is now worn but appears to show leaves and flowers emphasising the branch like shape. On the back are two integral circular sectioned spikes which narrow gradually to blunt points. They are placed on a central line, near either end. Both are bent off to one side at 90 degrees. It is 34.0mm long, 17.3mm wide, 1.9mm thick excuding the rivets, 5.8mm including and weighs 2.82 grams.
