Description: | Cruciform mount made of thin copper alloy sheet with applied copper alloy pellets and traces of gilding. The sides of the sheet have been bent over creating sides to the mount which would had sat proud of the surface it was mounted on. The cross is a Latin cross with 5 large copper alloy circular pellets soldered to the front, four spaced regularly down the central bar and one on the left arm; there is a rough area on the right arm indicating where a sixth has broken off. No parallels for this piece could be found in the usual sources but the shape and general manufacturing technique suggests a Medieval or Post Medieval date. It is 41.3mm long, 27.1mm wide, 6.8mm thick and weighs 3.85 grams.
