Description: | A Medieval of later sheet metal copper alloy mount or fitting from a book or possibly a casket. It is approximately rectangular, with both long edges having a cut-away pattern, mirror-image on either side. One terminal is lobed with a protruding knop 2mm in height turning up at right angles to the mount. On the under-side is another narrow protruding knop, probably part of a catch mechanism. The opposite terminal narrows to a strip 6.2mm in length where the metal appears to have been looped forward over a hinge bar which can just be detected within. There is the indent of circular mount with rivet hole set below the hinge in the centre. The mount has a convex profile, lightly curved between its two short terminals. It measures 34.76mm in length, 15.71mm in width and weighs 3.9g.
