Copper alloy with white metal plating Possible mount fragment. Cast flat-backed strip with a curved end, a slightly raised rectangular field, and a possible collared at the other end of the object, where it is probably broken. There is the suspicion of cross-hatched ornament on the rectangular panel, and slight traces of tin plating. An alternative identification as a book fitting, or perhaps a strap end, might also be entertained. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700. Length: 41.9mm, Width: 8.4mm, Thickness: 2.1mm, Weight: 5.45gms.
