Description: | A copper-alloy mount of possible Early-Medieval date.The mount is sub-cordate in plan (heart-shaped) and has a hollow underside. The upper surface has moulded decoration, at the centre of which is a cordate panel in which two internal swirls form a roughly pelta-shaped motif. Protruding from above this are two ear-like projections, each containing a single swirl. Around the perimeter of the main portion of the mount is a beaded line border. Intruding into the central pelta-shaped design is a circular hole. On the reverse, located just above this hole, is an integral rivet. The mount is heavily corroded. It measures 20.9mm long, 16.8mm wide and 4mm thick. The weight is 3.73g.The shape is reminiscent of middle or late Anglo-Saxon hooked tags and so it may be of the same date.
