From the photograph of the reverse, this appears to be an early post-medieval hooked mount with a 'shield-shaped' plate and sturdy blunt hook. The plate has curved lower corners and is then waisted before flaring out again to a shaped top; the hook has outcurved edges at the top and parallel edges lower down, and has a straight cut-across end; it bends towards the reverse of the plate. The plate is torn through a central hole, originally circular, which probably once held a separate rivet. Without a photograph of the front it is impossible to know details of decoration. There are ma…
