Description: | A Medieval copper alloy square pyramidal mount; the external surface still has a large quantity of thick gilding present. A lumpy mid-green patina covers the internal surface and is appearing through the gilding. This is a pyramidal mount with four triangular faces and a flat border (width: 2.47mm). There is a circular perforation (diameter: 2.45mm) at the peak of the mount. The flat border has some damage to the edges: three of the four corners are damaged and there is a small notch missing from one edge. The breaks are also covered by the same green patina. There is no bar across the base; this combined with the circular perforation indicates that it is not a sword pyramid. It is similar to Egan and Pritchard no. 1067-71 except that it is gilt copper alloy and not lead/tin and with a separate not integral rivet. Dimensions: length: 22.38mm; width: 22.27mm; thickness: 7.80mm; weight: 3.94g.
