Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy medieval mount. The hexagonal faceted hollow cylinder has an internal diameter of 8.3mm and an external diameter of 15.7mm. On one side of the cylinder is an integral sub-rectangular lug with a circular perforation through it. The length of the lug is 20.24mm, the width is 11.5mm and its thickness is 6.3mm. Opposite the lug on another face of the cylinder is two joined three-dimensional human heads. The identical faces have incised oval eyes, a raised sub-triangular nose and a straight closed mouth. A line around one of the faces suggests the presence of a chainmail coif. The overall length of the mount is 22.6mm, the width is 32.0mm and the weight is 42.93g. Based on the chainmail coif on the joined faces, the date of the mount is likely to be Romanesque c. 1066-1200 AD
