Description: | Post medieval copper alloy hooked mount probably from furniture or similarThe mount is of two-piece construction and is complete but the hook is now in two pieces (with a weight of 15.8g). The back-plate (with a length of 62.8mm, a maximum width of 24.6mm and a thickness of 1.9mm) has a trefoil terminal at the top with a knop at the apex and is rounded at its base with concave sides. The plate was attached using two countersunk holes (of 4.6mm and 5.0mm diameter) near each end. The hook is separate and is joined with a square mortise before a collar at the base of the hook (giving an overall depth of 14.3mm). The hook has a rounded end (10.2mm wide) with divergent sides. There is no applied decoration on the plate or on the hook. The surface has a dark-brown patina.The hooked mount had an uncertain function but may have been attached to a piece of post medieval furniture or similar.
