Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Very worn cast copper alloy mount, possibly a book or box mount dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, that is c. AD1500-1800. The mount is composed of a long narrow strip with wavy edges, terminating in a large flat, circular disc. There is one thick moulding in the centre of the mount. Both surfaces are extremely worn and no further decoration is visible. On the reverse are three attachment lug which are all bent over. This suggests that the mount was attached to a thin sheet of wood or, more likely, a leather cover or leather strap.
