Description: | Medieval copper alloy sheet sexfoil mount. The mount has a high domed centre with a circular hole thorugh it for the seperate rivet, now lost. The six lobed petals are raised with indents between and the edge is shaped to the curved outer edges of the petals. It is 11.4mm long, 12.0mm wide, 3.8mm thick and weighs 0.29 grams.Egan and Pritchard (1993) illustrate a range of flower mounts made of copper alloy sheet, p.186-194. They are highly variable with 5 to 13 petals; no.1016 on p.191 is most similar to this example. These mounts were in common use by the middle of the 14th century and continued to be popular until the late 15th century (ibid p.186).
