Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object is sub-rectangular in plan and section with an intricate floral openwork design. In the centre of the object is a rose flower which is flanked by 2 vines or flower stems. These originate at the bottom of the mount from a fleur de lis. Above the rose are two moulded 'cherub-like' faces under each of which is a semi-circular moulding, possibly a wreath.The reverse is undecorated and has three integral prongs, which are bent towards each other. The mount is in a very good condition. This is a typical 17th or 18th century design. A similar example which can be found on the database is KENT-7896F6.
