Description: | Medieval or Post Medieval copper alloy mount. The mount is lozenge shaped and flat with projecting knobs at each corner, these are very worn but some appear to be tri-lobed. One side appears to be mis-cast as it has a bulge along the edge. On the front there is a raised design of a flower with a central pellet surounded by raised petals. There is a raised boarder around the edge, worn in parts. In the center at the back there is a rivet, square and tapering towards the sharply pointed end, now bent to one side. It is now a brown colour with one small area of green.Length 16.2mm, width 15.7mm, thickness 1.8mm, excluding rivet, 7.0mm including the rivet. Weight 1.92gms.Read (2001: 32) illustrates a similar mount, no.249, and suggests this is Medieval in date, AD 1400-1550, however this design appears similar to Post Medieval mounts with integral pointed attachments spikes which are usually dated into the 17th century. SOM-E42307 found nearby appears identical.
