Description: | A copper alloy mount of medieval date. It is roughly 'H' shaped, with the two uprights, of plano-convex cross-section, being curved and linked centrally by a roundel on a rectangular bar. Two adjacent uprights have terminals with flat roundels, each 11.5mm in diameter. The other two terminals have recurved ends, both of which appear to be incomplete. One surface has traces of gilding, and the reverse is plain. The mount measures 40.23mm in length and 35.5mm in width across roundels, 34.02mm in width across the recurved ends. The width across the arms of the uprights is 6.4mm. The mount weighs 13.73g. This mount may have been used to decorate furniture or a casket. For a similar, more elaborate, mount see Saunders (ed. 2012, 139; ref. 209).
