Description: | A corroded, copper-alloy sheet mount of medieval date. The object is cinquefoil in shape with a dome shaped central circular boss; the dome has had a hole punched in the top. Each petal is rounded and is shallowly convex. There seem to be low ribs radiating out from the boss between the petals, these are echoed on the lower surface by scoring. The artefact has a mid/dark-green patina with areas of off-white corrosion product. A mount of similar manufacture, although sexfoil, can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 115; ref. 1048).
