Description: | A cast copper-alloy Medieval cinquefoil mount (c. 1350-c. 1400). The mount has five evenly-spaced petal-like lobes, convex at the front and concave at the rear. Two opposite lobes have a central circular rivet hole, each filled with the remains of a corroded iron rivet. The object is corroded and partially covered with a mid-green patina. Where the patina is lost, the surface of the metal is reddish brown. A deposit of iron corrosion, obscuring some of the rear face, is loose and friable. Maximum diameter: 19.7mm, thickness: 2.8mm. Weight: xxx Similar shaped mounts with separate iron rivets are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See, examples from Folkinhham Parish, Lincolnshire (LIN-CAFF21) and Kellington Parish, North Yorkshire (LVPL-722D35).
