Description: | A fragment of a Medieval mount, probably intended as a box- mount. It is made from a thin sheet of metal and has a cut-out design. Along one edge are two small apertures against a cross-hatched background. These were probably used to attach the mount to the object which it decorated. The register below this consists of three cut-out rectangles, each surmounted by a small hole. Beneath the rectangles is another area of cross-hatched ornament, and the remains of a trefoil cut-out. This may have formed an architectural niche. At this point the mount is broken.The mount fragment is silver and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century.Dimensions: length 41 mm, width 13 mm.
