Description: | A complete cast copper alloy probably Post Medieval mount.The mount is flat and lozenge-shaped in plan with trefoil knops on each corner and is decorated with a flower/floral cross formed of raised elongated pellets. It has an even dark green patina. There are two integrally cast spiked lugs intact on the back of the mount, which are bent towards each other with one being slightly broken at the tip. A small fragment of the perimeter has broken off.The mount is 24.4 mm in length, 24.8 mm in width, 1.4 mm thick and weighs 2.8 grams.Nearly identical mounts with single lugs, dated to c. 15th to early 16th century, are illustrated in Read 2001, p. 32, nos. 249 and 250. However, this mount has two lugs, which would suggest a possible 17th century date.
