Description: | A cast copper alloy mount. The mount appears to date to the 8th Century and is therefore Anglo-Saxon in origin. The mount consists of a flat sub-rectangular plate, with a long but thin attachment spike projecting from the reverse. This projection is badly corrode and worn. One of the corners of the plate has been slightly damaged. The front part of the plate depicts a floral design in relief. The integral rivet may suggest use on horse harness. The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour.
