Description: | Copper alloy Mount. Cast concavo-convex mount of teardrop form with an integrally cast rectangular section rivet of length c.9mm. In addition to this principal means of fixing, there is also a rivet of length 5.2mm and diameter 1.3mm at the narrow end of the object, now passing half way through it. The display face bears traces of gilding. The attachment appears to represent a half way stage between the medieval use of separate rivets and the post-medieval construction of mounts along with an attachment spike. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Length: 27.7mm, Width: 13.3mm, Thickness: 0.9mm, Weight: 2.80gms.
