Description: | Cast copper alloy flat heart shaped object, probably a mount. It is roughly triangular with rounded corners and a indent in the centre of one side vreating a heart shape. There are two rivet holes, one each side of indent at the broader end. It is highly corroded obscuring any dectoration and the break at the point. It is 17.9mm long, 18.6mm wide and 1.6mm thick; it weighs 1.71 grams.This may be a medieval mount in similar form to SUSS-A48847 and SUSS-ABD275; however it is less regular than those examples without bevelled edges and with the rounded point which appears broken. It maybe the broken point extended and this is actually the plate part of a hooked tag, probably of Post Medieval date.
