Copper-alloy furniture mount of probable 18th-century date, 28.5mm in diameter and 7mm high. The mount is slightly domed and consists of a series of concentric circles. The first one forms a ridge around the edge; before the second line, which is 5mm in from the edge, the mount rises 4mm in height. There is another line a further 3mm in and then the surface dips slightly. From here it rises gently up to a boss 7mm in diameter which has a 2mm diameter hole in its centre. The reverse is plain and has the end of a square fixing rod 4mm wide.
