Description: | A cast copper alloy asymmetrical mount dating to the 17th century. The body of the mount is crescent-shaped from the top of which projects a stylised fleur-de-lis. Projecting from the centre of the base of the object is a rounded collared knop. The outer face is decorated with tapering rectangular panels which are painted red between which the grooves are gilded. At the rear of the object is an integral lug at each end. The object is in good condition. Similar examples of asymmetrical mounts which have been dated to the 17th century can be found in Read, (2001), p35.
