Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-Medieval mount fragment. It is incomplete due to old breaks probably caused by plough damage. The mount was originally rectangular and bears traces of decoration on its outer surface, with incised lines and openwork. One end is bent back and mostly missing, and there is a tongue-shaped protrusion from the opposite end, with a single separate rivet in situ. The two outer petals of a fleur de lis symbol lead from the plate on to the tongue, with the central petal destroyed by corrosion. At the two extant corners of the mount there are two more rivets in situ.There are two integral spikes on the underside, one mostly missing due to old breaks. The mount measures 28.95mm in length, 18.03mm in width, 1.4mm in thickness, weighing 2.28g.
