Description: | Copper alloy and lead.Mount, as identified by finder. A cast sheet rhomboid or diamond shaped sheet of original thickness 1.2mm with an incised single line border, intersecting at each corner. There is also the suggestion of further linear subdivision of the enclosed field, perhaps in a diaper pattern, though whether this arises from tooling or applied colorant is uncertain. A thin skin of lead on the back is suggested by the finder to represent a fixative, which may be apt as there are no discernible rivets or rivet holes. However, this would suggest the mount was fixed to a stationary and inflexible surface, perhaps a box or casket, rather than a flexible material such as leather. This object closely resembles NLM-D3A604. Suggested date: Medieval, 1250-1400.Length: 21.2mm, Width: 17.9mm, Thickness (overall): 2.3mm, Weight: 1.57gms.
