Description: | A copper alloy medieval mount. It may be part of a strap-plate mount or possibly a rectangular strap-end. It is rectangular , and made from thin sheet metal, having a single rivet hole very close to one short edge and centrally placed. This edge is incomplete, and the other three edges are worn. There are two incised lines of decoration running the full width of the mount, nearer the short edge opposite the rivet hole. Further incised lines define two boxes, each of which has a crude star shape of criss-cross lines within. The mount is 21.05mm long and 15.03mm wide. It weighs 1.40g. This object could date to the fourteenth or fifteenth century, the style of decoration suggesting a later date.
