Description: | A post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount with two integral rivet spikes on the back dating to the 17th century, now incomplete following old damage. It is comparable to SOM-410496 on this database, found in the vicinity. This latter shows that the present example is incomplete and how it would once have appeared. This example has also been bent slightly in profile.The mount is an openwork quatrefoil in shape with two of the internal lobes joining, not having been fettled. On the outer edge of one petal is a rounded projecting knop, slightly truncated; and on the outer edge of the opposite petal is an old break (which would be led to a longer projecting pointed knop). The back is flat. The attachment spikes are circular in section, they taper from the base to the sharp point. They are placed near the edges, on the back of the point where the petals join the projecting knops. One is bent outwards at 90 degrees; the other has been broken off at the tip. The object is 22.9m long (having broken) by 16.9mm wide, 1.8mm thick excluding the rivets, 8.0mm including. It weighs 2.05 grams.
