Cast copper alloy mount in the shape of a floral cone. Leaves are depicted in high relief, arranged in scrolls around each other, in what seems to be a bouquet. On the reverse are two integral bent over hooks, presumably for attachment to leather. The surface is dark green and fairly smooth. This is probably a decorative brass from a harness, and most likely dates to the 17th-18th centuries.

Fragment of copper alloy. This fragment is subtriangular in section tapering towards one end, and subrectangular in plan with a distinct curve. It is heavily abraded, but it is possible to see that the tapering end is cast so as to appear slightly raised from the rest of the object. Superficially, the object looks like a bird’s head that would taper to a pointed beak. The original surface is mostly gone, but where it survives it has a dark green patina. Otherwise it shows patches of bright green and creamy corrosion product. The object is 16.9mm long, 5.8mm wide, 7.1mm thick and weig…

An incomplete copper-alloy decorative strap mount. Rectangular in shape and consisting of two sheets held together with a small copper-alloy rivet through either end, which would have originally have attached this mount to a leather strap or belt. It measures 27mm in length and 18mm in width. There is a circular perforation through the centre of this mount. There are similar mounts from London and it is thought that they have a specalised function, but this has not yet been identified. They are believed to be mid14th-15th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 224-226).
