Description: | Anglo-Saxon copper alloy and gilt mount, 23mm in diameter, 4mm thick and weighs 6.43 grams. The object is in a fair condition with a brown patina, but has traces of corrosion. The surface decoration consists of a plain border, 3mm wide which may have traces of silvering. Inside this is an area about 5mm wide which has diagonally placed raised wavy lines. This whole area appears to have been gilded and a large patch remains inatct. This is bordered by a raised circle containing a central area of iron staining. The mount has a single depression in the centre of its reverse which would have held it in place.
