Description: | Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount with two integral rivet spikes on the back dating to the 17th century. The mount is an openwork quatrefoil in shape with one petal filled in due to mis-casting. On the outer edge of one petal is a rounded projecting knop and on the outer edge of the opposite petal is a longer projecting pointed knop. This longer knop is divided into a row of three by stepping-in in width at two points with the steps also joined by incised transverse lines. The back is flat. The attachment spikes are circular in section, they taper from the base to the sharp point. They are placed near the edges, on the back of the point where the petals join the projecting knops. One is bent over at 180 degrees inwards the other is bent inwards 90 degrees and then the point bends off to the side at 90 degrees. It is 33.7mm long by 17.0mm wide, 1.4mm thick excluding the rivets, 5.9mm including. It weighs 1.81 grams.A similar mount has since been recorded from the same parish - SOM-3D5547.
