Description: | A copper alloy mount or strap end, dating from the medieval or early post-medieval period. The mount is rectangular in plan and is formed of two sheets; the bottom sheet is corroded but is flat and rectangular while the top sheet forms a rectangular frame, suggesting whatever was inserted into the object was visible within this frame. The frame is decorated with simple incised cross-hatching, and there is a rivet in each corner. This may have been a book plate or mount, or possibly a type of strap fitting, however it true function and indeed date remains uncertain. It probably dates from c. AD 1250 - 1700.
