A complete cast copper alloy mount of post-Medieval date. (c.1600-c.1750). The mount is convex at the front and flat at the rear. In plan it is in the form of a heart with a fleur-de-lis terminal. The side fleurs of the fleur-de-lis curve round to join the ridge and thus have circular holes within. At the rear are two integral tapering spikes, circular in cross-section. Both of these are bent towards the fleur-de-lis end. The mount is generally corroded but patches if a shiny khaki patina survive at the front. The rear face is covered with loose light green copper alloy corrosio…

A corroded and incomplete sub-rectangular cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is flat with a main rectangular body which incurves at one end to a width of 4.4mm before an old break; it appears to be truncated at the other end due to old damage. Before the end narrows there is a pair of double transverse grooves on the upper surface between which possible decoration within a rectangular field now obscured by corrosion. The main body beyond has grooves running just inside the long edges. The field within appears plain, again perhaps a product of corrosion, apar…

A cast copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The piece is flat and sub-oval in plan with an oval shape missing one end where there is a straight edge which may be complete or an old break. The front is decorated by a central dot with a large incised circle around it. Between this circle and the edge are three circular perforations for attachment. They are arranged in a triangle and the arrangement suggests the straight edge was not attached to an object in the same way as the opposite end. It may suggest the straight edge is original or possibly had a projection from it. Although plai…

A copper-alloy sheet binding, sub-circular in plan, of probable post-medieval date. The piece has suffered a longitudinal crack but it has only been slightly distorted in plan. The thin strip is flat at one end and cusped on the other other giving it the superficial appearance of a crown. The cusping is formed of triangles each with small semicircular cusps. An upper zone from just below the cusps is delineated by a double longitudinally incised line; the area below is plain, as is the internal surface.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of medieval date. The mount is sexfoil in form (sub-hexagonal), with incurving sides to the hexagon, and large rounded knops at the apexes. Four knops survive and have been bent both upwards and downwards to differing degrees. The mount has been perforated at the junction with the other two knops for small attachment rivets, one of which survives in situ. These other knops have been lost following old breaks at these weak points. At the centre of the mount is a shallow convex boss (H.: 5.8mm). It is decorated with seven raised annulets with cen…

A copper-alloy mount in the form of a Tudor rose of post-medieval date (16/17th century AD). This small mount is essentially flat and in the form of a double five-petalled rose with small pointed lobes in the cusps. The centre of the upper surface is moulded in low relief with five arms emerging from a central point to join the side of the internal rose. Between each arm a small spur springs from the side of the internal rose; thus five heart shaped cells are created. In one of these white enamel survives in place. In an adjacent cell formed between the roses is red enamel, and w…

A small copper-alloy post-medieval mount in the form of a fleur-de-lis. The central fleur is pointed, while the lateral ones are lobes set at right angles to it. They are delineated by V-shaped grooves between them on the upper surface. A large expanding lobe emerges from the base of the lis and is rounded at its end. The sides of the mount are bevelled subtly on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. Emerging from the reverse of the central fleur is a truncated integral prong of rectangular cross-section, now vestigial. This is the only obvious means of attachment. Post…

A cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date (c.AD 1600-1750), plausibly a harness fitting. The mount has a heart-shaped plate that is very shallowly convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the narrow end there is an integral fleur-de-lis-shaped protrusion, bent down slightly at the tip. The central element of this feature is pointed and the two side fleurs are small and rounded, set at right angles to it. There is a V-shaped groove on the upper surface of the mount about halfway along which gives more definition to the heart shape. Below this, and above the lis terminal, …

Post Medieval mount dating to the 17th century for a leather item. The flat plate of the mount has a tri-lobed end with a narrowed waist underneath, the lobes each side being thin and curved out, one now bent forward at the tip. This waist then expands forming rounded shoulders before a constriction formed of indents coming in from both sides below which it expands again to a square plate with outwardly curved corners. Below the square is an incised line across the front then a wider collar with rounded ends and possibly a broken lower edge. On the back are two integral attachment s…

Post Medieval cast copper mount dating to the 16th or 17th centuries. The mount is in the form of a large circular boss with a projection to one side. The boss has a hollow back and convex front which rises in two steps to a central dome, between the first and second step is a double incised ring. The edges of the boss are irregular and slightly damaged but it seems probable there was only ever one projection. The projecting piece is in the form of an oval lobe with a smaller lobed terminal beyond, both are convex on the front and the larger lobe has a hollow back. From the back of th…
