Description: | Domed copper-alloy gilded mount of probable medieval date. Possibly a decorative mount for a bridle strap or for a belt. Consists of a hollow dome-shaped boss measuring 15.9mm diameter, by 5.6mm high. Attached are four projecting rivet holes, which form four corners to the mount and give the piece a total width of 19.8mm and a length of 21.7mm. The holes are of varying diameters and are cut through metal measuring 1.4mm thick. One of the rivet holes is slightly damaged and overall the piece is fairly heavily corroded with the exception of the central part of the boss, where the metal has a dark reddish brown patina. Traces of gilding can be seen around the bottom of the boss and this probably originally covered the entire piece. The weight is 3.62g.
