A Post Medieval furniture mount
Description
English: A post medieval lead alloy mount in the form of a flower dating to the period c. AD 1600 - 1800. It would originally have had eight roughly triangular petals radiating out from a central globular point, most of the tips of the petals are now folded over into the centre, however three are completely missing due to old breaks. Each of the petals are decorated with two raised linear stirations which terminate at a central raised point.

The mount measures 34.9mm in length, 26.2mm in width and is 9.0mm thich with a weight of 21.46g.
