Description: | An incomplete cast silver 'shoe-shaped' mount of Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date (AD 450 - AD 600).An incomplete silver 'shoe-shaped' mount, which would have been part of a belt. In plan the mount is semi-circular at one end and pointed at the opposite end. About mid-way along its length, at either side, is a semi-circular indentation. The front is smooth, very slightly convex, and has two or possibly three 'hammered' marks. At the rear the surface is generally uneven with a small depression at the centre containing iron, the remains of the attachment lug. The pointed sides have a number of fine striations. The surface of each semi-circular indentation has six small parallel slanting ribs.
