Description: | Fragment of an Irish openwork mount, originally hexagonal, but now incomplete. Decoration consists of four beasts arranged around a central roundal, each with its jaws gripping its neighbour. The beasts' bodies are made up of strips, each bearing a band of angled lines, with associated tendrils. Spiral hip joints are clearly shown as are three-toed feet.
