Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Post Medieval mount or possible clothing fastener with the hook missing due to an old break, circa 17th century. The mount is sub triangular or tear drop-shaped in plan view with two rounded corners at the widest end. The sides taper to a terminal which is now missing, that may have included a hook. The mount is domed with a convex front and a concave back. The thickness of the casting at the break is 1.96mm. The front of the mount has a dark brown/green patina, the inside of the mount has a light brown soil residue. The deepest part of the dome is at the object's widest point. A rounded knop projects from the bottom of the domed section. At the junction of the knop with the domed section, the knop has a width of 5.22mm and a thickness of 2.60mm. The length of the knop is 4.94mm. Maximum length of the mount: 27.12mm. Width: 17.91mm. Thickness: 7.79mm Weight: 5.31gA similar mount is recorded on this database; SOM-1E73CO. Read (2008) illustrates a similar mount, no. 813, which he dates to the 17th century. A similar clothing fastener is recorded in Read (1988), page 122, fig 3 which is dated to the 17th century.
