Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy hooked mount. The hook is now missing, lost to an old break. The mount has a circular mid-section, domed with a convex front and concave back. From the domed section projects a collar with rounded ends from which expands a smaller circular dome ending in a small rounded knop. From the bottom of the domed section projects a square section from which the hook would have extended. There are circular attachment holes for rivets, now missing, on the rectangular section and in the centre of the smaller circular section. Iron corrosion products around the holes suggests that the rivets were made from iron. The mount now measures 38.3 mm long, 23.6 mm wide, 8.7 mm thick and weighs 9.69 g.Read (2008) illustrates a similar example, no. 813, which he dates to the 17th century.
