Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy mount. The mount has a circular domed boss and would have been surrounded by four angulad tabs, each with a rivet hole. Two of these tabs are missing. Of the two that remain, one has its rivet in tact. The mount is 20mm long and probably dates from the 13th or 14th century. It may well be from a book to serve to keep the leather book cover from being abraded by contact with flat surfaces.cf Read, 2001 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' Fig 8, no. 84, which is dated circa 1270-1350Egan, 1998 'The Medieval Household', page 280, no. 926.
