Description: | Complete copper-alloy and enamel mount of Early Medieval date. The mount is in the form of a slightly convex roundel and probably formed an escutcheon for a hanging bowl. The reverse is plain and slightly hollowed. the front carries a design of seven spirals, one at the centrs and six arranged in a ring around this, traces of a yellow white enamel survive in the recesses of the design. Comparable designs occur on a range of hanging bowl fittings from Linconshire (Bruce Mitford 1993, Late Celtic Hanging Bowls, in Vince [ed.], Pre-Viking Lindsey, 45-70). Dated in line with comparable examples as Early Medieval, AD. 450-650.
