Description: | A complete copper-alloy openwork mount or stud of probable post Medieval date c.1500-1700. The outlne of the mount is reminiscent of a tudor rose with the design being broadly quatrefoil in shape with smaller lobes projecting both from bewteen and halfway along each of the four lobes (ie. 8 in total). The cntre of the mount is in the form of a cross with a square centre boss topped with a rounded pellet. The spaces between the arms of the cross and the outer quatrefoil rim are open. The front of the mount is slightly domed. There is a single square-sectioned spike for attachment protruding from the centre of the reverse. The metal has a dark green patina where it survives but is mostly coated with reddish-brown corrosion. No clear parallel has been found for this item at this time although HAMP-160132 and HAMP-0F3F71 are similar and are thought to be harness mounts.
