Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probably medieval hinged mount. It consists of a rectangular plate bearing two large circular holes, each bevelled on one side, with a small loop protruding from the side of one end. A break shows that this would have been one of a pair, which together would have held a piece of wire to form a simple hinge. The simple construction and large rivet holes suggest that it may have functioned as a casket fitting similar to the larger early 15th century examples from London illustrated by Egan (1998,48, fig.29, nos.40&41).Length: 25.73mm, width: 9.57mm, thickness: 3.69mm, weight: 1.98g
