Description: | A copper-alloy cruciform mount of possible Early-medieval to post-medieval date. The item appears identical to both SUSS-E80D64 and BH-BF1F17 neither of which could be paralleled in the usual sourcesThe mount is in the shape of a cross with expanded arms. At the centre of the cross is a pronounced pellet with a rounded upper surface, surrounded by a groove. An incised trapezoidal border is located within each of the four cross arms. Small punched dots form a ring around the central pellet and also extend around the edges of the arms, lying just outside the incised borders. The back is flat with a fragment of a central rivet protruding from the concave recess created by the pellet on the front. The surface of the mount has a mottled yellow patina suggesting it could have been treated with a lacquer of some sort. The mount is 19.5mm long, 19.5mm wide, 3.2mm thick and weighs 2.6g.
