A resized image of Post medieval mount with integral attachment spikes

A post medieval copper alloy mount with two integral attachment spikes. The mount is heart shaped with an acorn shaped knop connected to the base point. There are also two projections from the edge of the heart, one either side. On the reverse of the mount are two spikes, both are complete and curve back towards the mount. It measures 21.6mm (length) x 13.3mm (width) x 5.7mm (thickness) and weighs 2.17g.

Mounts with two attachment spikes are from c. 1600-1750 AD; a similar shaped mount can be found in Read (2001, 28 ref. 295).
