Description: | A medieval copper alloy plate mount dating to the early 15th century. The mount is flat and rectangular with three drilled rivet holes, a central hole with two smaller peripheral holes. Rivets are no longer present. The front of the plate has an engraved linear decoration running around the edge. Within the decoration is an engraved linear design in the shape of a rhombus with the peripheral rivet holes at the two furthest points.
