Description: | A cast, copper alloy mount dating from the early Post Medieval period. The mount is shaped as an openwork square which is subdivided into quarters. From the centre of each side projects a trilobed fan decoration, and the corners of the square are elongated. There are traces of a white metal coating on the front face. On the reverse of the mount are the remains of two integral bent-over spikes which have both been worn down. Compare SWYOR-BEB795 and the buckles on page 65 of Whitehead, which are of similar style and date from 1550 - 1650. Rob Webley (PAS) alos notes that there are a couple of very similar mounts in Read (2001, 34; nos. 276, 277), in his general C17th section on mounts.
