Description: | An incomplete Post-Medieval copper-alloy mount in the form of a "Tudor rose", dating to the period AD 1600-1700. The mount is sexfoil in form with moulded decoration, and comprises a central pellet surrounded by six small petals. These are enclosed by six petals, which are offset so that each apex is located in line with the join between two pellets. The perimeter of the mount comprises 6 arcs to give the appearance of petals, each separated by a rounded knop. These arcs are offset so that their apex is located in line with the join between the inner petals. The reverse is undecorated, but there are three lugs, each with worn breaks. One is located centrally, with the other two oppsite each other at the perimeter. There is a dark brown patina on the surface with areas of red-brown.Cf. Read. B. (2001) p.34, 272 for a similar example.The mount measures 34.91mm in length, 34.84mm in width, 2.15mm in thickness and weighs 13.64g.
