Treasure Case 2008 T757 "Hollow silver sheet bent into a circle, one side with engraved ornament of leaves and scrolls. It has been suggested that this may have been the mount for a scent bottle made of some other material, or perhaps a pomander, but this is only a hypothesis. The engraving style however suggests a 16th or 17th Century date, though this too is tentative. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections"

A silver quatrefoil mount dating from the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The mount is cut from sheet and is pierced at the centre. There are petal markings engraved on the front, but the reverse is plain. Similar mounts can be seen in 'Dress Accessories' by Geoff Egan and Frances Pritchard (1991) on page 185. The mount is 14.7mm long, 14.3mm wide and 0.9mm thick. This object qualifies as Treasure under the Treasure Act 1996 and has been reported under the Act. It has since been disclaimed since no museum wishes to purchase the mount.
