Description: | An incomplete lead or lead alloy mount of the Post Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1700. The mounts consist of a diamond or lozenge shaped front plate.There is no remaining evidence of an attachment spike of any kind on the reverse. The decoration on the front of the mount consists of a four petalled flower, with incised lines radiating from the centre on each petal. There is a pellet in the centre of the flower. The left side of the object has sustained some damage, probably as a result of ploughing. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The object measures 18.2 mm in length and is 16.0 mm wide. It has a thickness of 3.0 mm and weighs 3.2 g. The object is a mid grey in colour with an even patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the orginal surface detail, and has resulted in some damage to the surface of the object. Other broadly similar examples of this type of mount have been recorded on the database, including WMID-C72C38.
