Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount with two integral rivet spikes on the back. The mount is an openwork cross flueretty in shape with a central pellet on a lozenge from the corners of which project arms which split into a trefoil fluer at the end; the outer petals curl over inwards and touch the peltal of the next fluer. The outer edge is shaped to the petals. The back is flat. The attachment spikes are square in section, they taper from the base to the rounded point. They are placed near the edge, each at the end of an opposing arm and are bent over at 90 degrees in the same direction. It is 15.9mm long by 14.8mm wide, 1.3mm thick excluding the rivets, 5.7mm including. It weighs 1.28 grams.Read (2001) illustrates a very similar example (p.34, no.275) which he dates to c.1600-1700 AD.
