Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount of the Medieval period.The mount is incomplete, and originally it was probably cruciform in shape, but only one complete arm remains. The centre has a raised decorative feature that may be an animal head, but wear and corrosion prevent positive identification. Emerging from the centre is a spatulate-ended arm, with a fan-shaped terminal that flares out from the body. Presumably, the upper arm was symmetrical to the lower, but it is broken just above the centre before there is any sign of flaring. Both sidearms are broken, but the left one has more remaining of a slight, sub-circular arm.The reverse if flat and has a downward hooked shank emerging from the middle.
