Description: | A copper alloy artefact, possibly a mount dating from the Early Medieval period, AD 500 - 1066. It consists of a narrow rectangle of metal, tapering slightly towards one end. The upper side has a border of small, crudely punched dots along both long edges. There are three circular perforations, probably rivet holes, one at each and and one approximately one third of the way along its length. They are not central. One hole is so close to the edge that it has worn through. The underside is plain. The artefact has a patchy, light green patina. It is 41.4mm long, 5.3mm wide and 1.3mm thick. It weighs 1.29gm.A similar artefact can be found on the database at reference LIN-8FD052, though the method of mounting appears to be different in this case.
