Description: | A copper alloy mount of early-medieval date. The mount is pyramidal with a flattened apex. From the reverse it is hollow with a single integral rectangular attachment bar across the base. The mount is undecorated. The metal is a mid bluish-green colour and is worn. The mount is 16.2mm wide at the base and 8.3mm tall. Pyramidal mounts like these were used on sword-scabbards during the first half of the seventh century, but are usually decorated, sometimes lavishly. A similar undecorated copper-alloy example has been recorded on the database at DENO-08BD33.
