Description: | An incomplete gilded copper alloy mount of early post-medieval date. The mount is broadly rectangular with a bivalve scrolled terminal. In the centre of the panel within a relief border enclosing symmetrical relief ornament, is a pair of hearts set point to point, overlain by a figure-of eight, with pellets to either side of the points and within each rounded lobe. Treces of blue enamel remains within these cells. At each short end is an oval or sub-rectangular lobe, each with two large circular perforations forming a figure-of-eight. On the reverse is the remains of one of the two attachment spikes. Gilding survives over most of the front of the mount, while the reverse is flat and undecorated.See also SF7061 and SF3960 on this database
