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.Offset from 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 greenish/brown colour,Length 16.2mm, width 15.7mm, thickness 2.1mm excluding rivet, 4.9mm including rivet. Weight 1.95gRead (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-F757D6 found nearby appears identical.
