Description: | A slightly worn and corroded cast copper-alloy asymmetrical mount with integral lugs of Post-Medieval date (c. AD 1600-1700). This mount is asymmetrical in plan, with a tapered pointed knop leading to a larger, sub-triangular lower portion, which is almost 'heart-shaped'. The mount is slightly convex with a rounded upper surface and flattened underside. In the lower portion, there is a moderate aperture which runs broadly parallel to the exterior edges of the piece, and this is bevelled internally. At the underside are two integrally cast circular in section lugs, which have broken short of their intended pointed end. This artefact has a mid-green colour, and the exterior form of this mount can be paralleled by Read (2001: 28, no. 298 (see figure 20, p. 35) and which is thought to date to the 17th century AD.
