Description: | A nearly complete cast copper-alloy Post Medieval rose-shaped mount, c. 17th century AD.The sexfoil flat mount is in the form of a fleuret, with pellets and arcs representing three layers of petals. Between some of the outer petals which form a scalloped edge to the mount there are small projecting points, probably representing sepals. The surface retains traces of possible gilding. On the back of the mount are three incomplete integral rivets in a row, all of which are bent.The mount is 34.8 mm in diameter, 2.3 mm thick, 8.1 thick including the rivets, and weighs 13.6 grams.A very similar mount on the PAS database: BERK-9B9A33. An identical mount, also with three lugs, is illustrated in Read 2001 p. 34, no. 272; Read dates this example to the c. 17th century AD.
