MOUNT
Unique ID: HAMP-EC6B64
A slightly corroded and bent, but complete cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is sub-triangular in plan, terminating at the apex in a broadly trefoilate knop. At the wider end there is a bifid knop at each corner with the edge between them rounded. The upper surface appears to be decorated with symmetrical foliate patterning in low relief around the longitudinal axis; the detail has been obscured by corrosion. On the reverse there a pair of pointed lugs bent round towards each other such that they overlap: they are situated towards the wide end. The upper prong has been truncated as a result of old damage. The mount is of a variable mid-green colour largely covered in off-white corrosion product and small patches of gilding. It has been damaged by a lateral strike such that the narrowed end is bent downwards and at an angle. In its form it is broadly comparable to an artefact illustrated in Read (2001, 35; ref. 296) which is dated to around the 17th century.
