Description: | Post medieval copper alloy book mount, probably of 17th or 18th century dateThe mount is near-complete (with a length of 50.7mm and a weight of 12.4g). The mount is made of sheet copper alloy (1.8mm - 2.8mm thick) and was attached by a single rivet positioned near the end (2.6mm diameter). The rivet hole has been punched through, rather than drilled. The attachment end is straight, before the sides diverge slightly before converging to a rectangular panel (with a maximum width of 26.8mm), near the catch. The catch is distorted (with a depth of 2.6mm). No applied decoration is now evident on the surface which has a dark-green to brown patina.
