Description: | A complete copper-alloy openwork mount or stud of probable post-medieval date (c.AD 1500-1700). The outlne of the mount is broadly square with lobes projecting both from each corner and in between. The centre of the mount is in the form of a cross with a square centre boss. The spaces between the arms of the cross and the outer quatrefoil rim are open and could be descirbed as 'heart-shaped'. The front of the mount is slightly domed. There is a single large square-sectioned spike for attachment protruding from the centre of the reverse, the size suggesting this is either a harness mount of probably a furniture mount. A similar item has been recorded on this database (DENO-C0AAC3) and HAMP-160132 and HAMP-0F3F71 are also similar.
