Description: | Copper alloy possible mount fragment. Cast plate with incised and gilt decoration on one face, possibly derived from Salin Style 2 this comprises parallel curving lines and crescentic elements, possibly a bird in profile: the subject is unclear though parts of a creature may more likely be represented than a vermiform subject. Though the flat back would permit its attachment as a mount, this might equally be part of a more complex object, for example a fragment of the head plate of a large brooch. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 550-750.Length: 28.5mm, Width: 24.7mm, Thickness: 2.0mm, Weight: 6.27gms.
