Description: | A complete copper alloy multifoil mount, of Medieval dating (AD 1350 to AD 1450).The mount is domed, with a concave underside and is of the multifoil type, having six teardrop shaped lobes. In the centre of the reverse is an integral square sectioned attachment shank, which gradually tapers to a sharp point.The mount has a diameter of 15.6 mm and is 6.5 mm thick. It weighs 2.0 g.The mount is a mid green to brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.Several similar mounts, although with more lobes have been recorded on the PAS database including YORYM-E1BEf7 and SWYOR-360E31. These have been dated to the Medieval period (AD 1350 to AD 1450).
