Description: | A fragment of a possible late Iron Age triskele-type mount. The fragment consists of what could be one swirl of the triskele design, broken at all angles. The reverse of the mount is hollowed, as are other examples of this type of mount. The most similar example to be found on this database is YORYM-1A6656. The complete mount would have been is circular in plan with the openwork triskele design in the centre. Some of these mounts are actually fobs as they have a circular suspension loop on a stem above the central design. Examples of triskele mounts can be seen in MacGregor, no.39 & 40.
