Description: | An incomplete and misshapen cast copper-alloy Medieval mount (c. 1200-c. 1500).The surviving part of the mount is sub-oval in plan with an elongated knop which has a narrow pointed end. At the centre of the knop there is a circular rivet hole. The main part has a raised voided cross pattée on the upper face. The rear face is flat.Some of the upper surface has been lost due to corrosion. Both faces are covered with loose light green and buff copper-alloy corrosion products. The break is old.A wide date range has been suggested as no analogy was found. It is possible that the object is part of a harness suspension mount.33.6 x 11,6 x 1.5mm. Weight: 2.19g.
