Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy mount.The head of the mount has a heart-shaped central portion with a projection at both the top and bottom ends. The projection at the point is sub-lozengiform; that projecting from the cleft has a rounded end. The upper surface of the mount is convex, the underside is concave. The two rivets are located on the reverse of the mount, one on the back of each of the two aforementioned projections. Both rivets are of circular section, taper to a point and have been deliberately bent outwards.Length: 38.2mm; width: 17.1mm; weight: 4.2g.Similar mounts are illustrated and discussed by Brian Read, who suggests a probable 17th century date (2001: 28/fig. 19, nos. 286 - 289).
