Description: | A copper alloy mount which probably dates from the Medieval period. One end tapers in to an acorn shaped knop at then end of a bar decorated with transverse lines and chevrons. There are two rivet holes (one filled with corrosion) through the bar. At the other end, the mount opens out into a flat circular plate of which only a fraction survives. Small traces of gilding still survive on the plate. It has a length of 37.66mm, width 8.46mm, thickness 4.06mm, weight 6.24g. A similar style of mount is WAW-32ABC3, but this example does not have the circular plate. The mount is probably from a casket or similar furniture and the plate may be part of the hasp or a handle escutcheon. It probably dates from c. 1200 - 1400.
