It is a narrow bar measuring 6.7mm in width and is D-shaped in section. the overal length is 43.35mm and the object weighs 9.43g. One terminal is bent forward at ninety degrees, and expands slightly to a pointed oval shape at the end. It is perforated with an oval-shaped hole. The bar is curved, and has a dome-headed rivet, 6.28mm in diameter, protruding 4.75mm in length from its centre, and is 28mm from the perforated terminal. The opposite terminal is incomplete due to old breaks. It is broken off across a rivet hole, at a point where the bar starts to curve back, giving an S-shaped curve to the whole object. The upper surface bears traces of gilding.The mount may have been used in connection with horse trappings, or as part of a sword belt assemblage.
