Description: | A complete cast copper alloy Medieval (13th to 14th century) mount. A flat lozenge-shaped mount with no indication of any attachments. There is a small central hole, presumably for a rivet which does not survive. The design is an eight-leafed flower or a star, surrounded by a linear border. There is the remains of gilding on the upper (decorated) surface. The reverse is plain. The object has a dark green patina with light green corrosion. Length 44mm, width 31mm, thickness 2mm, weight 5.36g. No parallels can be found for the floral design however Read (2001) illustrates several lozenge-shaped mounts without rivets dating to between 1270 and 1350 (pages 17 and 18, nos. 123 -126).
