Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy probably Post Medieval mount, c. 16th-18th centuries AD. The mount is sub-rectangular in plan and flat. It has moulded squared ends, both ends decorated with one raised pellet in each corner of the square and a centrally-positioned circular rivet hole, now both missing their rivets. The central segment of the mount is sub-oval in plan, with small outer projecting points at the outer corners near the squared ends. The centre is decorated with a raised ring-and-dot, with a further pellet connected to the outer ring. The mount is nearly complete, missing only a portion of its second circular rivet hole. An exact parallel has not been identified, but based upon the decoration and style of the mount, a general attribution to the Post Medieval period is suggested.
