Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy box or casket mount of probable Medieval date. It has a tapering rectangular bar that is D-shaped in section with flat back face and dome-shaped from face. At the narrowest end is a flattened circular terminal with central circular rivet hole and scalloped outer edge. At the opposite end is an incomplete terminal with central circular rivet hole, projecting lobes to either side and incised notches at the join of bar ad terminal. The entire object is worn and has been slightly bent due to post-depositional damage. It measures 49.73mm in current (bent) length, 7.69mm in maximum width at bar, 18.71mm in width a incomplete terminal, 11.52mm in width at complete terminal, 3.38mm in thickness, and weighs 7.42g.This is an incomplete mount, probably from a small box of casket, with similar examples noted from London (Egan, 1998: nos. 139, 168-169, 192, 194, 200-201). These suggest a probable Medieval date for the current example, perhaps in the 13th-15th centuries AD.
