Description: | An incomplete, sheet copper-alloy mount, possibly from a book or casket.The mount consists of a circular plate with an extended, rectangular projection issuing from it's edge, with a damaged, trefoil-shaped terminal. Issuing from the opposite edge of the circular plate is a sub-rectangular knop which shows some damage and may, possibly, have been larger and part of a hinge structure, originally. There is a drilled hole for a rivet in the centre of the circular plate. The rivet is missing. The object has no decoration on the under-surface but the upper surface is heavily gilded, with a single, incised line around the perimeter.
