Description: | Copper alloy lozenge shaped mount with two circular holes near the top. The mount is flat with slightly bevelled sides. On the front is incised decoration probably including a vertical line of rocker arm down the middle, the rest of the decoration is unclear due to corrosion and wear. On the back the holes are surronded by grey corrosion products and there is a further patch of grey corrosion, possibly the remains of solder, near the base. It is 27.7mm long, 22.4mm wide and 1.1mm thick; it weighs 2.48 grams. It appears to be one of a group of similar mounts (e.g. SUSS-A290D1, WILT-565737 and WILT-564874) which are thought to be Medieval based on the use of seperate rivets and rocker arm (1200-1500 AD).
