Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount, possibly for a box, harness fitting or similar, of Medieval date. One terminal end survives the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It has a rectangular plate that has a slightly concave back face and faceted front face. Towards the old breaks is a raised square panel covered in cross-hatched decoration. The terminal itself is hemispherical in form with a slight projecting collar. At its outer edge extends a large, elongated oval shaped terminal knop, and at the centre of the terminal is a single circular rivet hole. Traces of gilding are visible on the front face of the object. It measures 32.99mm in length, 9.20mm in width, 2.95mm in thickness, and 3.75g in weight.This is an incomplete decoratve mount of Medieval date. It finds parallels in examples recorded from Suffolk (e.g. SF-772B04, SF-79CDD6, SF-D17525, SF-D3B951; cf. Clark, 1995: fig. 52, especially no. 75) and is of probable c.14th-15th centuries AD.
