Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy mount of probable Medieval date (1200-1500).The mount is misshapen but was originally cross-shaped with a central circular perforation. Each arm, about 9.0mm in width, is 'D'-shaped in cross-section although they are very slightly concave on the underside. Assuming that the terminals of each arm were similar, they are in the form of a perforated circular knop with a pointed end. At the front, between each knop and arm there is a transverse rib. One of the arms is longer than the other three.The object has a mid green patina but this is lost in places. At the front, on the lees complete horizontal arm, there is a tiny fleck of gilding.51.7 x 34.4 x 22.9mm. Weight: 12.92g.This mount may have been for a box or casket.
