Description: | An enamelled copper-alloy mount probably dating to the later Medieval or early Post-Medieval period (c.1300-1700). The artefact is circular in shape, 44.80mm in diameter, 2.30mm thick and weighs 20.09g. The obverse is flat and decorated with a five-petalled flower. Each petal is inlaid with blue enamel and between each is a sepal, inlaid with green enamel. At the centre is a circular stigma with traces of a white substance in it, probably from white enamel. The reverse is flat and undecorated although there are traces of tooling marks. There are no traces of rivets or integral hooks or suspension loops so it seems likely that the object was set into something else. The patina is olive green, mostly smooth and slightly sticky to touch.
