Description: | A cast copper alloy mount of post-medieval date, about AD1500-1700. The central portion is lozenge shaped, flaring out at each end into a trilobed but pointed terminal. The body of the mount is decorated with a raised lozenge shape, echoing the shape of the body itself. The underside is plain and carries two integral mounting spikes, one of which has broken away and is missing. The mount has a patchy, pale green patina with traces of a black coating. It is 32.9mm long, 12mm wide and 7mm thick. It weighs 3.29gm.A similar, though not identical, mount, attributed to the seventeenth century, can be found on the database at reference DENO-80A242.
