Description: | Cast copper alloy mount probably dating to the Post-Medieval period, (1500-1750). The object is irregular in plan and D-shaped in cross-section. It is curved in profile. The object consists of a sub-oval plate which tapers into a sub-rectangular projection which terminates with a break. At the top of the object is a projecting pointed oval knop. In the centre of the oval plate is a moulded elongated oval ridge within a circular ridge. On each side of the object the circular ridge expands into a wider sub-rectangular ridge which joins the circular ridge to the outer edge of the object. Another raised elongated oval decorates the sub-rectangular projection. On the reverse of the object is a rectangular sectioned curved lug which is complete. Traces of red enamel can be seen between the circular ridge and the internal oval ridge. The object has a mid-green patina and is in good condition.
