Description: | An incomplete post-Medieval cast copper-alloy mount (c.1600-c. 1700).This mount was probably symmetrical in plan prior to being broken. It is convex at the front and excepting the spikes, is flat at the rear. At one end of the mount there is a complete knop in the form of a stylised acorn. At the base of the acorn there is a narrow waist. The central part, adjacent to the waist, is oval in plan. Part of a second waist survives where there is a transverse break. The incomplete tapering spikes on the rear face are circular in cross-section.The metal is generally reddish brown with patches of green patina and corrosion products. Under magnification, tiny flecks of gilding can be seen at the front. The break is old.Height: 26.19; width: 8.53mm; thickness: 3.46mm; thickness including spikes: 6.58mm. Weight: 3.05g.
