Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy rectangular mount with gilding on both sides, dating from the 12th-15th century AD (length: 39.2mm; width: 19.1mm; thickness: 0.8mm; weight: 2.13g).All four corner rivet holes are still present, although only one is still complete (diameter: 3mm) and the others are broken. There are no rivets remaining. There is no other additional decoration on the mount and the artefact is in a worn and corroded condition with a light green patina, mostly due to the presence of bronze disease.There are similar rectangular/ square mounts illustrated in Egan & Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c. 1150 - c. 1450' 2002, pages 195-197.
