Description: | A post-medieval copper-alloy mount.The head of the mount is lozenge-shaped, with a convex upper surface and hollow underside. A moulded flower head design occupies the central area; this is surrounded by a plain rim, which, in turn, is surrounded by a pelleted perimeter border. Eight moulded lobes are equally spaced around the perimeter, with one on each of the four points. The remains of a square-cross-sectioned rivet extends straight backwards from near to the centre of the reverse. A white metal coating covers both the upper surface and the underside of the mount.Height: 27.9 mm; width: 21 mm; depth (including rivet): 5.5 mm. Weight: 5.35 g.Similar mounts are illustrated and described by Brian Read, the dates for which vary between the 15th and 17th centuries (2001: 27/Fig. 17, nos. 249-252). The general form and use of white metal coating on this piece suggest a probable 17th century date.
