Description: | A copper alloy Medieval mount, possibly from a vessel, and dating from 1250 - 1500 AD. It may be a looped mount for attaching the handle of a delicate medieval vessel; compare the plainer example on page 178 of The Medieval Household. The mount has a circular convex projection at one end, pierced in the middle by a inverted drop shaped hole. The centre of the mount is a rectangle with a dome headed rivet in the centre. The rectangle is raised above the rest of the plate. At the other end are two projecting curved and pointed arms which bend away from each other to form a decorative terminal. There are traces of gilding on the front. The reverse is concave in the centre and at the looped end. The mount has a dark green patina with areas of light green corrosion. In style the mount is very similar to casket mounts and harness mounts of the medieval period such as IOW-D76AE5 and HAMP-297335.
