Description: | A cast copper-and-lead alloy mount of Post-Medieval date, c. AD 1600-1800.The mount is floral shaped, with 8 petals arranged around a stepped, conical boss. The underside is undecorated with a central pyramidal shank, with a projecting skirt positioned halfway between the top of the shank and the underside of the mount head, all cast integral.The metalwork has a dull grey colour suggestive of a lead-alloy, but the creases between the petals and traces on the underside suggest a green patina originally covered the object. The object may be cast in pewter with a brass surface finish.
