Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork mount, of Post Medieval dating (17th to 18th Centuries AD).Approximately 75% of the mount is present. The front exhibits moulded decoration, in the form of a tree or petalled design. Four branches extend from the central four petalled flower design. The branches seem to be fleur de lys / lis style, with a central plume, and side plumes that curl downwards back on themselves. The reverse is flat and undecorated. One integally cast attachment spike, with a circular cross section, still remains on the reverse.The mount is a mid green to mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of surface detail.The mount measures 19.97mm in length, 19.5mm wide and 2.34mm thick. It weighs 0.3 grams.A complete mount of this design has been recorded on the PAS database as PUBLIC-6FD3C3, found in Wiltshire.
