Description: | An incomplete post-medieval gilded lead mount probably dating 1500 to 1600AD. The reverse is flat and undecorated. A reddish corrosion product can be seen on the outer face which is probably the traces of gilding. The mount seems to have a similar construction to star mounts which have been found at Salisbury and other Medieval sites, and have been identified as ceiling and wainscot decorative mounts which were often gilded or heraldic devices attached to the clothing or belts of retainers or wooden objects.Egan, G., 2005.
