MOUNT

Unique ID: SUSS-8A0E34

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A cast copper-alloy strap mount dating to the 16th - 18th century. The mount is irregularly shaped (resembling a crude acorn). Two attachment spikes project from the reverse and are bent away from each other. These spikes would have allowed the mount to be attached to a leather strap. The metal has a mid reddish-brown patina and is fairly worn, much of the original surface has been lost.
