Description: | Copper alloy Early Medieval to Medieval artefact, possibly a mount. A third of the way from one end there is an 11mm long and 6mm thick body section, the front of which is moulded into a central barrel shaped segment, flanked at either end by a groove and a raised collar. Either side of the moulded body the section changes to that of a 1.1mm flat rectangle which is shaped into three arms of a cruciform cross. Just beyond the projecting side arms of the cross on both sides of the body the mount has suffered transverse breaks across the remnants of axial circular holes. The rear of the mount is flat for its entire length. See LEIC-3EDB92 for what is clearly a related object and also LEIC-3EDB92 which may also be related. Circa 1100-1500 AD.
