Description: | Complete cast copper-alloy umbonate quatrefoil mount of medieval date. The mount has four semi-circular lobes each with a rivet hole; on one lobe the edge of the mount beyond the hole has worn through. No rivets remain. There is a slight ridge between each lobe and the dome. The central dome is convex and hollow. The central boss is divided into four equal sections by diagonal lines. A parallel can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 16; ref. 118) for which an approximate 14th-century date is suggested as is a possible function as a book mounting.
