Description: | Early medieval mount; fragment of cast copper alloy mount of late Early Medieval date, probably 10th or 11th century. The mount is a curving, roughly lozenge-shaped piece with a rounded knop extending from one side and further protrusions to either side of that. It is decorated on one face with interlace patterns in low relief, reminiscent of Anglo-Scandinavian styles. The other face appears undecorated. There is no obvious method of fixing apparent on this piece and the ends seem rather rough, suggesting that it has broken away from a larger object. There is a grey-green patina over the surface of the metal.Length 31.5mm, width 18.3mm, thickness 2.4mm, weight 3.84g
