Description: | A Medieval copper alloy domed sexfoil mount (AD1350-1400). Each petal of the sexfoil is slightly concave forming a faceted appearance. In the centre of two opposing petals is a rivet hole with the rivet still in place. There is also a central rivet hole but this rivet is missing. There is some edge damage and the curved edges to the petals are missing on two opposing sides.This mount is very similar to one found in London and dated to AD1350-1400 (Egan & Pritchard: 1991: 185-186 no.945). The London mount is described as being a crude heraldic rose design (ibid.).Dimensions: length: 18.74mm; width: 16.13mm; thickness: 5.72mm; weight: 0.78g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991.
