Description: | Two nearly-identical relief-decorated copper-alloy mounts, probably from a set. Each one is basically heart- or drop-shaped, with a small D-shaped projection in the centre of the wider end and a trefoil terminal at the narrower end. The relief decoration consists of a pellet on the D-shaped projection, then a border to the heart shape consisting of two lines scrolling inwards at the wider end and outwards at the narrow end to form the two side lobes of the trefoil. The scrolled lines enclose a rosette made up of six pellets around a central pellet, and the central lobe of the terminal is made up of two mouldings forming an acorn shape. On the reverse are two bent-over attachment spikes. One, at 2.7g, is quite a bit heavier than the other at 1.96g; they are both 27 mm long, with the heavier 13 mm wide and the lighter 12 mm wide.
