Description: | A post medieval mount dating to the 17th century. The mount is asymmetrical consisting of a large circular panel with rounded nodule on one end, leading to two panels, decreasing in size, and tapering to a point. There is appears to be a band separating the two smaller panels. There is a circular depression on the reverse of the circular panel, making it slightly umbonate. On the reverse are two integral rivets. There are traces of gilding across the surface of the object. The object is now a reddish brown colour and the original design is difficult to discern.Similar examples can be found in Read (2005, 289 and 328) which date to the 17th century.Dimensions: length: 30.18 mm; width: 14.19 mm; thickness: 4.18 mm; weight: 3.46g.Read, B. 2001.
