Description: | A cast copper alloy object, probably a mount. The object is formed from a plate of copper alloy. Five lobes are positioned around the plate, two either side and one on the bottom. The upper two lobes (either side) are perforated, as is the one at the base. A collar in positioned at the top of the object next to the projecting hook or attachment loop which would have helped hold this object in place. The perforations may have once held rivets. Moulded decoration can be seen on the surface of the mount. All the elements are cast integrally with the central plate. The surface is worn and pitted. It is probably medieval to post medieval in date.
