Description: | A sexfoil copper alloy mount made from thin sheet metal, probably dating to the Medieval period. It has a diameter measuring 23.4mm, is 3.1mm thick and weighs 1.64gm. The mount has a domed centre with a hole in the middle which could be a rivet hole, or could be damage. The six petals are separated by small indentations. Three of the petals have holes through them for rivets, two are adjacent whereas the other is one petal away from them. One of these petals has the remains of an iron rivet (1.4mm in diameter) rusted in place. The mount has cracked between two of the petals but maintains its original shape. There are traces of a white metal coating. Similar mounts can be seen in Egan and Pritchard Dress Accessories pp. 187-193.
