Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy asymmetrical mount dating to the 16th Century. The mount is triangular in shape, with two large cusps producing a smaller triangular body and a tri-lobed edge at the top, and with a wide, slightly trefoil terminal knop at the pointed end. The central lobe of the top edge has a circular hole which contains traces of an iron rivet. The underside of the mount is flat while the upper surface is richly decorated with curvilinear grooves representing a foliate design. The object measures 26.61mm in length, 17.72mm in width, is 2.35mm thick and weighs 3.12g.A very similar asymmetrical mount is illustrated in Read (2001) p41, No.350, which he dated to the 16th Century.
