Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo Saxon) copper alloy fragment of a mount (AD850-1066). The fragment appears to be part of a disc. The front surface has cast decoration comprising a central cruciform motif with scrolled terminals or it could be interpreted as heart-shaped scrolls with incurving terminals. This motif is bordered by a series of parallel vertical grooves. The reverse is plain with no point of attachment evident.
The pattern is very similar to a strap end in The Ashmolean no. 35.13 (MacGregor and Bolick 1993: 210). It is possible this fragment is from a strap end.
Dimensions: diameter: 28.90mm; thickness: 3.20mm; weight: 6.11g.
