Description: | Cast copper alloy openwork mount dating to the Early Medieval period, (400-1066AD). It is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The upper surface is decorated with a raised moulded diamond in the centre of which are four circular perforations. A raised semi-circle wraps around the lower point of the diamond and contains two circular perforations. Below this the decoration is worn. The top of the object is broken resulting in three small projections which would have formed the frame of the openwork. The reverse of the object mirrors that of the upper surface. It has a light green patina. It probably dates from the 8th-10th century.
