Description: | Copper alloy mount. Cast openwork plate of oval form with engrailed edges and pointed ends, the former following the strands of textured interlace ornament which is possibly of Borre style. The more markedly pointed end bears two comma shaped figures in low relief on its upper surface and may represent a serpent or beast head. The seven round apertures are so regular as to appear drilled or finished with a drill. Two low bumps on the back, the first set at one end and the other off-centre towards the other end, may relate to fixing. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 900-1000.Length: 40.2mm, Width: 19mm, Thickness: 2.6mm, Weight: 5.22gms.
