Description: | Flat rectangular copper-alloy mount with central decorative hole. The mount is not exactly rectilinear, and is a maximum of 13 mm wide and 35 mm long. There is a small rivet hole at each end, one retaining an iron rivet, and the central hole is 4 mm in diameter. The mount is decorated with four groups of three oblique lines, forming three panels. The two outer panels have four chevrons and a central groove, looking like an ear of wheat motif; the chevrons in one panel point the opposite way from those in the other. The central panel has a single chevron to either side of the hole, one pointing one way and the other the opposite way, each with a central groove forming an arrow shape. There is an engraved border around and there are traces of a white-metal coating. The decoration is quite neat and elaborate, although the shape of the mount itself is slightly irregular. Late medieval.
