Description: | Post-medieval cast copper alloy mount. The mount is sub lozengiform in plan, the upper point is stepped creating an effect of three small knops arranged in a triangle and the opposite point is extended into an elongated sub-triangular point. It has a slightly convex front and concave back. The front has angled incised lines but the decoration is very worn. The reverse of the mount is plain with two rivets arranged down the centre. One tapers to a sharp point and s bent 90 degrees towards the centre and the other is broken with only a protruding stump remaining. The mount is 36.8 mm long, 15.9mm wide, 4.9mm thick and weighs 3.7 grams.Similar mounts can be seen in Read (2001:35) and date to around the 17th century. The decoration is similar to SOM-211C86 with three sets of incised lines that form chevrons.
