Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy unidentified mount or fitting, perhaps for a casket of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date. It has a circular rivet hole with the rivet missing and the start of open fret work. The majority of the mount edge is at a right angle, suggesting that this would have fit into the corner of the original object. An openwork design protrudes from the perpendicular edge, with a sub-rectangular shape followed by an embellished sub-oval shape. The object is completely flat. Although composed of copper alloy, there is a large amount of iron corrosion on the surface, suggesting that elements of the object were composed of iron, particularly the rivet. It measures 51.6mm long, 38.2mm wide and 2.7mm thick around the outer edge. It is 55.6mm wide including remains of fret work. It weighs 22.23 grams.
