Description: | A copper-alloy mount, dating from the post-Medieval period.The openwork mount takes the form of an equal-armed cross surrounded by a sub-oval frame. The central area of the cross is occupied by a rectangular 'plate'. At the middle of this rectangle is a moulded, flat-surfaced lozenge surrounded by a ridge set within a recessed field. An elaborate pattern of moulded foliate scrollwork decorates both the arms of the cross and the outer frame. There are two opposing rivets on the otherwise flat reverse of the mount, the more complete example having been deliberately bent towards the centre. Traces of a white metal coating can be seen on the upper and lower surfaces of the mount.Dimensions: length: 36.5mm; width: 32.6mm; thickness of mount (not including rivets): 2.2mm. Weight: 9.29g.
