Description: | A complete copper alloy post-medieval mount. It has a triangular body with a fleur de lis extending from the broader end and a small knop from the narrower end. There is a hole containing the remains of an iron rivet through the central lobe of the fleur de lis. The outer face is decorated with a foliate design. It survives in fair condition.It is very similar in design and decoration to the three pendants seen suspended from a sword-belt hanger illustrated by Read (2008, 220, no.793) of probable 16th century date. Although there is no evidence that this object functioned in the same way a similar date seems likely.Length: 28.27mm, width: 17.56mm, thickness: 6.61mm, weight: 3.09g
