The mount has a flat rectangular central plate with broken openwork to each side. the rectangular plate has raised moulded foliate decoration on the front within a pellet border. From each side project the stubs of openwork, the stubs appear symmetrical. It is not clear if these stubs all connected to each other in a series of curves or if they connetcted this mount to a larger fitting. There is extensive remains of gilding on the front. The back is flat with the stubs of four integral circular rivets, one in each corner of the rectangular plate. Three rivets are bent over at 90 gegrees, one is almost completely gone. It is now 26.9mm long by 29.8mm wide and 1.6mm thick, 6.8mm thick including the rivets; it weighs 6.88 grams.
