Description: | Copper alloy Mount. Cast plate in a T shape with a pair of lugs on the back projecting from the top and bottom of the upright member. The lugs each have a broad separately fashioned head comprising a strip, perhaps of beaten wire, which has been folded at its ends, and presumably brazed to the lugs, again producing a T shape. This appears to have served to attach the object by insertion through a strap of thickness 2mm, with the projecting arms at the ends of the lugs securing them in place. The separate heads to the lugs would appear to have risked a weakened attachment, though these have both survived, albeit one is twisted out of its original alignment. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Length: 17.7mm, Width: 13.5mm, Thickness (plate): 1.9mm, Weight: 2.01gms.
