Description: | Medieval or late medieval copper alloy cast mount. The rough and matt texture of the material suggests medieval or later date. The object is flat, cc. 50mm in lenght, and has a large rectangular eye in the centre section, with two smaller circular openings at either side. This suggests it was probably a part of some sort of fitting. The terminal has a narrow, semicircular ending with a small circular eye, below which the object is decorated in two lines, pointing out of the surface. The object appears to be broken at the other terminal. It is curved, possibly by damage, and seems to have been continuing with another rectangular opening. The object has been gilded in gold, part of which is still visible, otherwise it is corroded all over surface.Lenght: 49mm; Width: 14mm; Thickness: 12mm; Weight: 6.14g.Found before 1990.
