Description: | A Post-Medieval (1500-1700) copper alloy mount with enamel decoration and integral spikes to the reverse. It measures 26.28x8.77x5.97mm and weighs 2.4g.The mount is broadly foliate in form, rather like a waisted tulip with trefoil top-edge and stem below. The body of the flower has traces of white and blue enamel; the top of the stem has traces of white enamel. Inside the flower is an inverted V-shaped of copper alloy, above a copper alloy transverse rib and circular area below. To the reverse are two bent spikes.While Post-Medieval mounts with geometric or figurative shapes and integral spikes are relatively common, examples with enamel seem rarer.
