Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo-Saxon pyramid mount. Each of the four faces of the mount has three recessed triangular panels, two at the base and one at the top. There is a square recess in place of the pyramid's peak, and this would have originally held a precious stone, probably a garnet. The underside of the mount is hollow, but has an integrally cast strap bar on the base. This pyramid mount is identical to one featured in the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material in Suffolk (1998: fig.21-22, p137). It dates from the 6th to late 7th Century AD.
