Description: | An incomplete post medieval copper alloy mount with two integral attachment spikes. The mount is roughly rectangular with fleur-de-lis shaped protrusions; one on each of the four sides. The protrusions are similar in size apart from one on a short side which is larger and more curved. Between the fleurs on the long sides the edges curve to a shallow point protrusion. The front face of the mount is corroded and worn but has been decorated with lines of stamped rings. On the reverse, one attachment spike has survived (which is behind the larger fleur); the other (behind the opposite fleur) has broken off and only a stump remains. The mount measures 29.8mm (length) x 16.0mm (width) x 11.1mm (thickness) and weighs 4.10g.Mounts with two attachment spikes are dated by Read (2001, 27) to c. 17th century AD.
