Description: | A complete copper-alloy medieval mount with fleur-de-lis terminal. The main element of the mount is a bar, rectangular in plan, with a flat underside. The upper sides are bevelled from the centre, giving a triangular cross-section. The terminals are in the form of ornate fleur-de-lis-type designs, with a tall central stem with two smaller leaves either side and two low leaves either side of the bar. Both of the terminal fleurs are peirced centrally for attachment, although no rivets survive. There is an area of gilding retained around one of the rivet holes. The mount may have been from a box or casket.
