Description: | Complete cast copper alloy box or casket mount of Medieval date (AD 1230 - AD 1270). Length 44mm, width 44mm and 3mm thick. Weight 8.45g.The mount is formed by two integral and identical arms that form a right angle. Both arms are sub-rectangular in plan and both are convex at the front and flat at the rear. The corner at the junction of the two arms is formed by a slightly raised square area, 10mm x 10mm. Close to the corner within the square area, but off-centre, is a sub-circular perforation which has a diameter of about 5mm. The edge of this perforation is very close to the edge of the mount. Each arm has a slightly raised end which terminates in an elongated knop with a round end. The raised area at each end has a circular perforation of 2.8mm in diameter. The mount may have formed decorative reinforcement for the corner of a box or casket.
