Description: | An incomplete medieval or post-medieval (AD c.1350-1700) mount from a box or casket. Overall, the object measures 25.0mm long, 8.6mm wide, 6.3mm thick. It weighs 1.78g. The object is broadly in the shape of two rectangles joined at the ends. One rectangle is 11.4mm long and 5.8mm wide, while the other is 8.7mm long and 8.6mm wide. Both are 2.2mm thick. At the end of the second rectangle is a long narrow projection, which curls forward to form a loop. Both rectangles have chamfered front edges and corners. There is a grooved line along the middle of the longer rectangle and there are diagonal grooved lines at each corner of the wider rectangle. There is also a circular perforation, probably a rivet hole, in the centre of the object. Another rivet hole may have been located at the end of the long rectangle, where the edge may be broken and now has a semi circular indent. There are traces of gilding on the front face.
