Description: | Fragment of a gilt copper alloy mount. The object is flat, trapezoid in plan and is broken at either end. The two tapering sides are intact. The front of the mount is decorated with a gilding and a perimeter of punched dots. Within the perimeter are two curved lines of punched dots, with further dots randomly placed to either side, perhaps representing foliage. The reverse is not gilded or decorated. The narrower end of the mount is slightly bent over, however a crack at the side at the point of the bent indicates that this is damage rather than an original feature. It is not clear what kind of mount or fitting this once was. It may have been from a box or strap, or even a large elaborate buckle plate.
