Description: | A medieval copper-alloy mount. Sexfoil mount, probably dating from the 14th or 15th century AD. The object has been punched from a piece of sheet metal and is domed with a scalloped outer edge depicting six petals (now damaged). These petals are further highlighted by vertical lines on the surface of the mount. There is a small central hole - probably the result of post depositional damage - and the heads of two copper-alloy rivets. These two rivets project on the reverse and have circular stops on the ends. A thin chord, made from organic material, survives, wrapped four to five times around the two rivets. The object measures 13.9mm in diameter by 4.8mm high and weighs 0.5g. The metal is 0.2mm thick.
