A cast copper alloy roundel in the shape of a 'Tudor' rose, probably a backplate from a drawer or cupboard handle. Only two small projections on the upper outer edge, representing leaves, are missing. The rest of the object is quite well preserved. The rose consists of an inner flower or six-petals and a larger outer flower, also of six petals. There is a squared hole in the centre through which the handle would have been fixed to the drawer or cupboard door. This type of mount was common during the 16th to 19th centuries AD and a number have been recorded on this database.
