Description: | Copper alloyMount fragment. Cast concavo-convex mount, of a type deemed suitable either for caskets or straps when examples from London were considered, with a collared and rounded terminal with narrow projecting lug. The terminal bears a rivet hole of c.2mm diameter, now blocked by copper alloy corrosion. Indentations adjacent to the collar and a thickening at the broken end may represent further ornament derived from decoration of zoomorphic style. The hollowed back may show the object was cast in an open mould. Abraded and corroded overall. Suggested date: Medieval, 1150-1200.Length: 34.7mm, Width: 8mm, Thickness: 2.8mm, Weight: 3.04gms.
