Description: | A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy phallic (possibly) mount (c. 1600-c. 1700).This mount is flat at the front and rear. In plan, one end is pointed from where it narrows evenly to form a waist and then widens evenly terminating with two similar sized lobes (bifurcate). At the rear are two tapering spikes, one at each end. These are circular in cross-section.This mount may have been designed to emulate a phallus.The reddish brown metal is showing through the dull green patina. The front has faint remains of a white metal coating (probably tinning).Length: 19.9mm; width: 11.7mm; thickness: 1.5mm; thickness including spikes: 6.0mm. Weight: 1.74g.
