Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount, probably dating from the Early-Medieval to Medieval periods.The mount is sub-triangular in plan. The top edge, which dips at the centre, appears to be incomplete. This area is set lower than the remainder of the mount. Immediately below, there is a plain area with circular perforation at its centre. Below this, moulded in high relief, is what would appear to be a forward-facing zoomorphic head. A circular lobe with central perforation is located at the base of the mount.Dimensions: 25mm long, 8.5mm wide, 3.9mm thick. Weight not recorded.The design of this piece points towards a probable 11th century date, as does the dull brown corrosion product.
