Description: | Complete but abraded cast lead alloy mount or possible badge of Medieval date. The mount, which is essentially a sexfoil in design, consists of an openwork circle of six co-joined stylized flowers around a central opening and with the overall appearance of the whole thing being one of a larger single flower. The six individual flowers each consists of a slightly dished circle with a central raised pellet with traces of further smaller raised pellets around the central one evident on several of the flowers. Traces of possible attachment fittings are present on the reverse. Due to the soft metal composition of this mount it seems likely that this mount was sewn onto clothing.This mount has been dated c.1200-1500.
