Description: | Cast copper alloy, post medieval mount. This mount is lozenge shaped in plan. It is 25.82mm long, 18.36mm wide and weighs 3.65g. It is decorated with an incised line that follows the lozenge shape, effectively creating a border. Within this border are raised dots, mostly worn down or damaged. Within the central lozenge shaped area created by the border are further raised dots that cover the entire surface. Again they are mostly worn down or damaged. Traces of gilding survive on the surface of the mount, mostly around the raised dots, otherwise it has a light green patina. The reverse of the mount is slightly concave, plain with no traces of gilding and is mid to dark green in patina. There are two, pointed, tapering, integrally cast lugs that are now bent over towards the middle. A parallel with slightly different decoration can be found in Read, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, page 34, number 284.
