Description: | Complete cast copper-alloy lozengiform mount of uncertain date, probably later Early Medieval to Medieval date. The mount is a flat and rounded elongated lozenge in plan with four larger outer lobes with smaller lobes between them. The smaller lobes are joined together via an incised design on the front of the mount in the form of an outlined X-shaped cross with a pair of incised grooves at the midpoint of each arm. There are two separately attached circular-sectioned copper alloy attachment spikes or rivets located at the ends of two of the larger lobes. The mount has a light-mid green patina where it survives, no traces of gilding or other surface decoration can be seen. No good parallel has been found at this time and the mount is dated broadly c.1000-1400.
