Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount of medieval date. The mount is probably from a casket or book and is sub-rectangular in plan. From a central raised rectangular feature the arms of the mount extend outwards and taper slightly towards a single collar. After this is a constriction which opens into a circular loop with a large, central, attachment hole. From one of the circular terminals a long narrow extension projects. The reverse of the mount is flat and undecorated. While complete the mount has become bent in on itself to form a U-shape most probably as a result of its deposition.The metal is a light brownish-green colour and is slightly worn. The mount is 60.4mm long, 8.4mm wide, 3.7mm thick and weighs 9.9g.A similar example can be seen in Egan, p.73, fig.50, no.147 and numerous parallels have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database such as SUSS-146A57, YORYM-B44B13 and SUSS-2DB651.
