Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probably post-medieval mount (AD c.1500-c.1700), broken at one end and missing an unknown amount of its original length. Overall, the object measures 54.1mm long, 13.0mm wide and 7.5mm thick. It weighs 5.56g. The intact terminal is trifoliate with an elogated central leaf forming the tip of the object. The terminal has a copper alloy rivet through it. There is a short D-shape cross-sectioned rod connecting the terminal to an oval plate. This oval plate is decorated with a moulded cross with heart-shaped blue enamel inlays in the recesses between the arms of the cross. Another short rod connects the oval plate with a rectangular collar and a thin, incomplete plate. This plate is bent and broken at its end. There are traces of gilding on this plate.
