Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy rivet which would have originally had separate rivets (length: 36.4mm; width: 16.3mm; thickness: 1.8mm; weight: 3.62g). At one end of this mount, there is an arrow-like terminal, compared to the rounded opposing end. In the centre, there are protruding side flanges. On the front of the mount, there are curved incised lines forming a leaf-like detail. Additionally, there are two empty rivet holes towards either end of the mount. This artefact is worn but in a fair condition with a dark green patina.Similar examples dating to the 16th century are illustrated in Brian Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity', 2001.
