Description: | A possible cast copper alloy casket mount of probable medieval date. The incomplete mount consists of a central perforated quatrefoil with two (presumably of the original four) spokes, which project from the central lobes. In its current state it measures 42.1mm by 40.8mm by 5mm and weighs 8g. The two surviving spokes terminate in zoomorphic heads. The back is flat. Geoff Egan (pers. comm.) has suggested that the object was a cruciform casket mount, possibly the centrepiece of a lid.
