Description: | Cast copper alloy mount, probably medieval in date. The mount is rectangular in plan and flat in section. It is decorated to the front with an incised border, bisected by a further incised line. To either side of this central line is an incised zigzag line. All of the lines are picked out with gilt. Each triangle of the zigzag is further decorated with three incised dots, also picked out in gilt, but not surviving in each triangle. The face of the mount is otherwise undecorated. The reverse of the mount is plain. Set off centre to one long side is an integral, square sectioned shank, with a diagonal profiled tip. The original surface of the object survives in tiny patches with a mid green patina; otherwise exposed surfaces are light green. The mount is 28.63mm long, 18.5mm wide, 3.06mm thick and weighs 11.14g. The shank is 11.5mm long and 4.76mm thick.
