Description: | A post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount with single integral rivet on the reverse. The mount is generally lozenge shaped in outline with large oval knop terminals extending from two of the opposite corners. The front has raised decoration and the back is flat. The decoration consists of four pellets at the four points, with two pellets between each point. There is a single oval pellet in the center. The back is flat with an off set square sectioned integral rivet near the center. Only a stub of the rivet survives, the rest is lost to a worn break. The mount is very worn and is now a brown colour. The mount is 26.3mm long, 15.3mm wide, 2.1mm thick excluding the rivet, 5.8mm including and weighs 2.16 g.Broadly similar mounts are with different raised decoration are illustrated by Read (2001:32), no.252-3 which he dates to the 15th-early 16th century although it is perhaps more similar to 16th-17th century mounts with integral rivets. SOM-DA1446 on this database is similar.
