Description: | A copper-alloy mount, probably a furniture fitting, dating from the post-Medieval period.The mount takes the form of a solid-cast standing bird. The vertical legs extend upwards from a sub-conical plinth, the distinction between the two elements being unclear. The body is slender and extends smoothly upwards into the neck and forward-facing head. The wings are shown as folded tight to the body, their tips set slightly above the level of the tail. The tail extends horizontally backwards and is slightly stylised, being of flat section with straight, parallel sides and a squared-off end. A circular-sectioned projection on the underside of the plinth represents the means of attachment.Length: 39.7mm; width: 11mm; height: 35.3mm; weight: 23.64g.
