Description: | Leaf shaped copper alloy mount, 37mm long and 28mm wide. The object is very thin and is heavily embossed. The edges have angular scalloping with a series of raised and sunken lines running across the surface to the centre, similar to a scallop shell. There is one raised dot in each of the sunken lines which form a semi circle around the object, close to the outside edge. In between these are lines of dots on the raised surfaces, running from the edge to the centre. At the top there are two small circular attachment holes. At the base there is a trefoil shaped emblem which appears to be three buds. In the centre of these is a flower. Just below this emblem a thin (4mm) strip emerges, which is folded over and runs half way up the back of the object, it may have been used to attach the object. The surface is quite poor but the design is clear.
