Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable medieval date. No parallel could be found for this piece but its general form strongly suggests a medieval date.The plate is roughly shield-shaped, but has a V-shaped top edge, the point of which extends into a vertical central groove. Each of the two vertical sides is decorated with a moulded ropework border. The reverse of the mount is flat and an integral rivet of circular section extends from the centre; this rivet has a sub-circular plate type stop at the end. The mount measures 13.4mm high, 11.4mm wide and 5.8mm thick. The weight is 1.71g.
