Description: | A fragment of a chip carved Anglo-Carolingian mount, dating from c. 700-800AD. The decoration consists of a palmate leaf of three petals: the central leaf is oval shaped and hollow, the outer two leaves are curved and solid. These are all contained within an outer, raised border. The leaf is tilted at an angle of forty five degrees to the right if the mount is held with a long side at the bottom. To the left of the first leaf are the remains of a second leaf, tilted to the left. The whole mount displays traces of gilding. There is a depression in the underside of the mount, possibly for a mounting stud. It is 16.6mm long, 11.7mm wide and 1.7mm thick. It weighs 1.27gm. Another Carolingian mount with some similarities is SWYOR-906685.
