Description: | Silver trefoil shaped mount consisting of three domed openwork roundels. The mount has a straight rolled edge which is 20mm long, at each end just below this is a attatching hole and in the centre is a semi circular void about 5mm wide. Below this are two openwork domed roundels with a further one centred below. Each roundel is constructed of twisted wire and has a silver bead in the centre from which 8 openwork petals emerge.Each petal has a flat wire band down its centre and nestled between the base of each petal is an openwork circle. each roundel is mounted onto a solid backplate by the parts of the circles that touch it. The decoration is completed by silver beads, there are two at the base below the single roundel (which appears to have once had a third hole) three in the centre, one at each edge of the roundel and a larger one in the centre of the object. finally there are seven at the top, three on each side flanking the rivet hole and one at the lower edge of the semi circular void. The object is flat on the reverse which indicates that it was made to be attached to something. It is possible that this is the eye part of a Hook and eye clothing fastener. Recorded at the Hidden Treasures roadshow at Market Harborough. B. Read, 2008, pg 208, no. 752.
