Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy gilt post-medieval strap mount in the form of a moulded fleuret. The fleuret is nonafoil, with a slightly raised convex centre, moulded pellets at the end of each lobe, and possible decoration in the field obscured by corrosion. The lower surface features a pair of incomplete pointed lugs, one of which has been bent to one side (L.: c. 3.75mm), the other of which is vestigial. A comparable mount can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 33; ref. 270) date approximately to the 17th century AD. The mount has corroded to a mid-green colour with areas of yellow-brown corrosion product and small visible areas of underlying red-brown metal. The traces of gilt are confined to the upper surface.
