Description: | Terminal from a cast copper alloy mount. The terminal is in the form of a large central point flanked at the base by rounded lobes which are flanked by small pointed knops, it has an old break just below the terminal. The front is slightly domed and the back slightly concave. There is a circular rivet hole through the centre of the terminal just before the break and traces of gilding. It is 31.9mm long, 19.9mm wide, 4.2mm thick and weighs 4.75 grams.Similar forms of mounts are seen on a variety of Medieval objects including as horse harness suspension mounts; however the size suggests these may be from furniture or casket mounts similar Egan (1998) p.71-3 no. 145 and 147.
