Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a mount or similar, of uncertain date. It has a semi-circular plate with largecentral circular rivet hole that is recessed on the front face. At the centre of the bottom edge of the plate is an integral shaft or arm that is rectangular in form and tapers slightly before terminating in old breaks. The back face is flat and undecorated, while the front face is slightly rounded giving it a D-shaped cross-section. The entire object has a dark brown patina. It measures 24.58mm in length, 13.51mm in width, 2.65mm in thickness, and 2.33g in weight. It may be of any date from the Roman period onward, although perhaps most plausibly of Medieval or later date.
