Description: | Cast copper alloy mount. This object is circular in plan and domed in section. It is formed from a solid cast piece of metal. It has been moulded with a cruciform design of a central raised dot, surrounded by a circle of raised dots, with four external dots at north, south, east and west forming the extended arms of the cross. A further circle of moulded raised dots runs between these four dots, but so that the original four are slightly off set and thus distinct. A final circle of moulded raised dots borders the mount. The reverse of the mount is flat and plain. One integral lug survives, but is truncated and squashed against the reverse. The other is entirely missing and all that remains is a circular 'scar' of its former position. The object has an even, vibrant mid green patina with tiny patches of lighter green corrosion. To the front of the mount is a fair amount of thick gilding. The mount has a diameter of 27.4mm, is 5.1mm thick and weighs 13.14g. It is probably late medieval to post medieval in date.
