Description: | Copper alloy mount. Rectangular plate of thickness c.1.5mm with a rectangular panel framed by incised lines and containing an incised flower with four oval petals against a field of diagonal rocker work. Gilding traces appear at either end of the plate, which is folded in half. A substantial iron rivet of diameter 5.8mm passes through one end clear of the decorated panel, and there is also the edge of a round hole of diameter 4mm at each end of the mount. The disruption of the incised decoration by folding makes it appear that the mount has been reused as a strap end; it is uncertain whether the large fixing holes and rivet relate to its primary use or its reuse. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1450.Length (as found): 26.7mm, Width: 19.8mm, Thickness: 1.5mm, Weight: 8.24gms.
