Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable Medieval date.The sheet metal mount is sub-circular and has a conical portion, located just off-centre, and pierced at its point. Traces of a white-metal solder on the underside of the rim suggest that the mount was probably attached to a metal object. The surfaces are heavily corroded. It measures 22.5mm in diameter, 6.1mm high and weighs 1.6g.Stamped sheet metal mounts are a common product of the Late Medieval period (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 178-179/fig. 114 for examples excavated in London).
