Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of prbable Medieval date. It comprises half of a flat, disc-shaped mount with decorated front face, the other half missing due to old breaks. The decoration consists of a border formed from a single line of incised rocker decoration, from which extend to the centre of the disc two surviving lines of rocker decoration separating the disc into quarters. In each of the two surviving quarters of the disc are triangular rocker decoration motifs radiating from the centre and with numerous parallel bands of decoration. The fragment measures 23.90mm in length/diameter, 13.17mm in width, 0.73mm in thickness, and weighs 0.94g. This is probably a decorative mount, perhaps from a vessel or similar object as is the case for a similar published example from Post-Medieval London (Egan, 2005: no. 517). The decorative motifs suggest a Medieval to early Post-Medieval date for the current object.
