The elongated lozenge is decorated with large beading round the edge and there is a hole in the centre of the upper part, perhaps for a decorative rivet head. The reverse carries a pair of integral bent spikes, characteristic of seventeenth century mounts; one is bent and the other broken. The mount has a dark brown patina. It is 26.2mm long, 12mm wide and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 1.93gm.An identical mount can be found on the database at reference SWYOR-273532.
