Copper alloy, probably tinned Probable Mount fragment. Cast flat-backed plate with cross-hatched central field of lozenges in relief and seven concave settings, three on one side and four on the other; a circular boss at one end of the object has a similar central setting.

These are brass stoppers and are particularly late and probably 19th century, many being produced around the time of the Great Exhibition in 1851."
