Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy hooked mount. The mount has two plates, each with four lobes with pointed projections between (quatrefoil overlain by a square). One end of the plate is broken at the perforation and would have had a projecting knop when complete. The plate at the other end has a thick sub-triangular projection which tapers into a circular sectioned shaft and curves forward before terminating in a break. The projection would have formed a forwards facing hook when complete.Each plate is decorated in a low relief design of a quatrefoil interlaced with a square. Each loop of the quatrefoils contains a pellet. In the centre of the square on the lower plate is a circular perforation with an internal diameter of 2.06mm which would have contained a rivet for attachment. The rear of the object is undecorated. The object has a dark green patina and is in fair condition.A similar example can be found in Read, (2008), p224.
