Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probable decorated mount of probably the Post Medieval period, probably dating from c. AD 1500 - c. AD 1800.The mount is broadly circular in plan and is D shaped (or domed) in section. The front of the mount has been decorated with a flower consisting of five leaf (or pointed oval) shaped petals radiating from a central circular pellet. Between each petal is a V shaped pattern with curved arms, the arms curve and terminate in a scroll pattern. The reverse is plain and undecorated, however at each side there is a circular sectioned protrusion towards the edge of the object. The object measures 20.5 mm in diameter and is 3.7 mm thick. The object weighs 5.3 g. The object is a mid green to brown in colour with an uneven patina. There is evidence of the object being gilded or covered in a gold coloured coating, as traces of the coating can still be seen on the surface. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Other broadly similar mounts have been recorded on the database including, ESS-6FF88C, LANCUM-C4D4C7, and WMID-FDF017. All have been dated to the early part of the Post Medieval period c. 16th - 19th centuries.
