Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment, possibly from a mount, dating to the early-medieval period. The object has a sub-triangular main body plate which is decorated with a shallow relief design. The design is formed around a lozenge shape with other curved markings around the edge. The edges of the plate are wavy. One terminal of the plate has a straight break, which is well worn. Extending from the opposite side of the main body is a D-sectioned curved extension. It is joined to the main body via a rounded knop. The reverse is flat and undecorated, but there are three shallow depressions on the reverse, which could once have been rivet holes. The metal is a mid silvery-grey colour, suggesting that the copper alloy has a high tin contain, or it has in fact been tinned.
