Description: | Cast copper alloy mount, possibly in the shape of a pine cone or crude animal head, with a central hole for a seperate copper alloy rivet. The mount is oval with a rounded knop projecting from the lower edge, the front is convex and the back concave. The oval section is divided by a curved line running just below the central hole, above this there is a cross hatch pattern of incised lines, below the line it is plain with a pair of short incised lines runing in from each side, partially marking off the oval from the projecting knop. It is 11.5mm long, 7.9mm wide and 2.4mm thick; it weighs 0.46 grams.Similar items are recorded in Egan (2008:121, no. 1130, 1135 and 1139) where they are interpreted as crude animal heads or shells and dated to the mid 14th to late 15th centuries (ibid:111).
