Description: | Circular mount made of copper alloy, flat and 23.5 mm in diameter, with integral square-section spike or rivet on the reverse. The mount is now a bit battered and the rivet has been squashed to lie flat along the reverse. The upper surface has sunken and counter-relief decoration which was almost certainly originally enamelled. The motif is now very unclear, possibly due to the lack of enamel; but it appears to be asymmetrical, possibly a bird looking back over its shoulder, with a disproportionately large wing. The ornament dates it to the medieval period.
