Description: | Early Medieval (9th century) damaged and incomplete cast copper alloy gilded mount. The main body is circular in plan and domed. This dome is divided into four triangular sections, each with a raised border. There is a circular knop at the apex of the dome. Each of the triangular sections is decorated with an interlaced knot design. At the base of the dome, extending from the four sections is an incomplete or missing projecting arm. Two opposing arms are semi-circular with a central curved depression. The reverse of the mount is hollow and undecorated. There is no apparent means of attachment, presumably the attachment would have been on the now damaged or missing arms. The mount in its current condition is 36.56mm long, it is 9.71mm deep, the metal is 2.81mm thick and it weighs 10.1 grams.
