Description: | A complete Post Medieval cast copper-alloy mount with integrally cast pointed lugs, dating from the 17th century AD. The mount is flat in cross-section with two sub-triangular lugs, which are bent over towards the reverse face of the mount place and rectangular in cross-section. The mount plate itself is elaborately decorated in mostly symmetrical form,with sub-rectangular ends both with bifurcated ends at either side, followed by semi-circular scallops cut out of the overal rectangular shape, with a central sub-rectangular segment with tri-furcated side-edges. Both of the flanking ends has a horizontal incised line delineating ends from central scalloped design; one of the ends has further decoration by means of a moulded knopped ridge, which the other end does not seem to have. The mount has an overall dark green patina. It measures 24.2 mm long, 12.4 mm wide at centre, 11.2 mm maximum thickness with lug. It weighs 4.3 grams.For similar type of mount, cf. Read 2001, p. 36, fig. 21, no. 311.
