Description: | A corroded fragment of a copper-alloy mount.The surviving piece suggests that the mount would originally have been cruciform. The central element is a circular 'boss' which tapers to a point and is surrounded by two concentric grooves. The surviving arm has concave sides and flares into a trilobate terminal. Its surface is decorated by two 'V-shaped' grooves, the points located towards the centre of the mount. The arm has been perforated and this perforation contains a corroded iron rivet. The underside of the mount is flat and plain, the only exception being the centre, which is hollow. The artefact measures 34mm long, 21.9mm wide and 6.5mm high. The weight is 3.89g.The form and metallic composition of this mount strongly suggest it was made around the 11th century.
