Description: | Copper alloy, sub-rectangular mount or strap fitting with two integral spikes. The shape may best be described as three conjoined sub-circular elements, giving the long sides of the mount a wavy appearance. The two integral spikes , rectangular in section and tapering to slightly rounded ends, protrude from the reverse surface, one at each end of the mount. The final third of the spikes are bent over so that the pointed ends are at approximately 90 degrees to the rest of the spike. The length of the spikes vary slightly, one is 15.5mm the other is 14mm. The upper surface is decorated with a sub-rectangular border of small conjoined circles and semi-circles which encloses a series of six stamped dots or circles and five crescents arranged alternately, apparently in three groups. Light to mid-green patina with areas of red-brown. There are traces of gilding on the upper surface.
