Description: | A complete fragment of a cast copper alloy casket or box mount of Medieval date (c. 1200-c. 1300).The mount appears to form the intersection of two strips that would have been mounted on the outside of the casket. The mount is an irregular shape as it appears to have been bent after deposition. It is made up of two strips held together by a circular rivet. The terminus of one strip forms a curved hook while the other is in a moulded scallop design. There is evidence of gilding remaining on the reverse. The mount is 26.9mm long, 20.5mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 3.1 grams.
