Description: | Copper alloy Mount. Cast plano-convex mount, hollow behind its plate with a rim at the back, with a pair of integrally cast prongs of length c.5mm on the back. A central teardrop shaped plate has a lobe or knop at either end, one larger than the other. Both knops bear crudely incised slashed decoration which may intend a petalled effect. One prong is markedly bent outwards, the other only slightly, but missing its tip, presumably from attachment to leather. The form vaguely recalls that of a Classical cantharus or wine jar, a popular decorative motif. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Length: 43.3mm, Width: 21.7mm, Thickness (plate, with concavity but clear of rivets): 4.4mm, Weight: 7.97gms.
