Description: | A fragment of a medieval probable gilt harness mount, one end of rectangular sheet, with a surviving attachment hole close to the crescentic terminal. Between it and a transverse break, both sides are rendered jagged by alternating broad and narrow concave cut-outs. The engraved decoration consists of at least three slightly curved inward-pointing engraved rocker arm chevrons. It measures 32mm x 15mm, with a thickness of 1mm. The form and decoration are similar to a mount from Hockwold cum Wilton (Norfolk Historic Environment Record number 54176) and suggest a 12th-century date.
