Description: | A cast copper alloy pyramidal mount with a circular rivet hole at the apex. The mount is gilded but otherwise is plain in decoration. The mount is hollow and does not have a bar on the underside, suggesting this is not a sword pyramid. Mounts of a similar style are known in lead alloy and date from the high medieval period. For comparisons, see records HAMP-BCF512 and BERK-38B976. This mount may have been from a small piece of furniture such as a casket.The mount measures 16.32mm long, 15.46mm wide and has a height of 6.25mm. It weighs 1.8gms and dates from c. 1250-1450.
