Description: | Copper alloy mount fragment. A cast strip with straight and very slightly convergent sides, broken at both ends at the sites of drilled holes, the better preserved being of diameter c.3mm. Both sides bear extensive traces of black staining, possibly showing polishing with linseed oil, which was a favoured treatment for metalwork in the early post-medieval period. The holes were presumably for attachment to a flat surface; a function as part of a book fitting might be considered; alternatively this may be from the frame of a bagor purse. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Length: 54.9mm, Width: 9.8mm, Thickness: 1.4mm, Weight: 4.65gms.
