Description: | An incomplete copper alloy decorative mount of probable Early Medieval date. The mount is trefoil in plan, consisting of three conjoined circles with a central circular aperture (c4.3mm diameter). At each of the joins there is a slight ridge to the outer edge. Two of these circles are set with red glass or stone, while the other has an empty circular cell. The empty circle has a terminal lobe projecting from it with an integral rivet to the reverse. The other two circles possibly had similar lobes with rivets which have broken off. The mount plate is flat and undecorated to the reverse.The three possible lengths of the mount measure 19.26mm (to the intact terminal) x 17.50mm x 17.72mm. It is 5.48mm thick and weighs 2.72g.
