Description: | Cast copper alloy mount, post medieval in date (c AD 1500-1700). The mount is flat and sub oval in shape, narrowing in the middle and widening at the top to form the widest point. The top of the mount has a protruding oval-shaped corner, and may have formed another symmetrical shape on the other side to form a heart-type shape, but the edge has been damaged and worn away. The mount has the remains of two integral iron lugs on the back. The object has a reddish green patina.It is similar in form to the heart-shaped mounts in Read (See Read 2001, Metal Artefacts in Antiquity, p37).
