Description: | A worn and corroded cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is of flat elaborate quatrefoil form with lobes that protrude at the angles. A pair of integral pointed lugs curve inwards on the lower surface; one has broken before it curves. The upper surface is seemingly undecorated.This method of attachment using integral lugs is characteristic of the 16th or 17th centuries. An example of this date, similar in form to this object, can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 34; ref. 278). The object has corroded to a red-brown colour with a dusting of off-white corrosion product.
