Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy rectangular decorated mount, dating from the 13th-15th century AD (length: 38mm; width: 17.1mm; thickness: 6.5mm; width: 3.59g). The mount has five rivet holes, including one in the centre, but an original rivet only remains in one of the corner holes, holding the two plates together. There is also an additional notch at one end. Patchy remains of decoration appear on one side, consisting of double-lined zig zag patterns around the outside between linear incised borders. The mount is worn, corroded and in a poor condition with a dark green patina.Similar examples are illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories: Medieval Finds from Excavations in London c1150-c1450', 1991 1st edition, pages 195-8, as well as Margeson's 'Norwich Households: Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from the Norwich Survey Excavations 1971-78', 1993, pages 38-40.
