Description: | Copper alloy probable mount, likely dating to the Medieval or early Post Medieval periods. The mount is 'amphora' shaped; triangular with rounded ends, with a rounded knop at the widest end and a horizontal bar at the narrowest end. The plate of the mount is slightly convex. A circular hole is situated in the centre of the rounded knop and at the tapering end, both filled with a separate copper alloy rivet, circular in section. The rivet at the knop is missing the end on the reverse, whilst the rivet at the narrow end has a widened and flattened plate to keep it in place. The mount has a red-green patina, with corrosion products covering most of the front rendering it difficult to identify any decoration. It measures 40.75mm in length, 23.6mm in width at the widest part, 4.4mm thick including the rivets and weighs 5.40g.
