Description: | A Post Medieval (1600-1800) copper alloy openwork mount. It has a moulded front and a flat back. It is a rough quatrefoil shape with a churub's head in the middle. There are three holes, one in each lobe but with the fourth lobe not pierced. There is a projection at each end of the quatrefoil; the lower projection is a rounded knop, and the upper is a crown with a plume of feathers above. On the flat back are two integral spikes for attachment, both bent outwards and one incomplete. The mount has a dark green patina. It is 32.77mm long, 22.5.6mm wide and 7.0mm thick; it weighs 6.33 grams. Several very similar mounts are recorded on the database at PAS record IDs: SWYOR-354D47, WILT-B60094 and YORYM-C0D350.
