Description: | Copper-alloy mount. The mount is in two parts, linked by a separate rivet. One piece is formed from a cut piece of copper-alloy, shaped like a figure 8, with the bottom of the lower section missing. Over this bottom part the second mount is riveted. This mount is hemispherical in section and is sub-rectangular, running across the mount, horizontally. The rivet runs through the centre of this mount, joining it to the other. The top of the lower mount is pierced with a rivet hole - the rivet is missing. The bottom mount measures 14 mm in length and 12 mm in width. The upper mount measures 14 mm long and 5 mm in width. The precise function of such mounts is difficult to ascertain, but they may be furniture or clothing accessories. It is likely that they date to the medieval or post-medieval periods.
