Description: | A cast copper alloy mount or binding probably from a casket or box, dating from AD 1200 - 1500. The mount is formed of a long slender rectangle but is rounded at one end. This end of the mount is D shaped in cross-section and a copper alloy rivet and rove project from the reverse of the terminal. At the other end of the mount is a rectangular aperture. The function for this slot is uncertain; it may be decorative or could be part of a hinge or hasp. The mount appears to be complete. The reverse is flat. It is 31.6mm long, 10.1mm wide and 6.2mm thick. 3.75g. The slot is 8.8mm long and 5.1mm wide.Egan (Egan G. 1998 The Medieval Household Daily Living c. 1150-c.1450 Museum of London, London, The Stationary Office) illustrates similar mounts, particularly No. 147, however this example is curved in profile, whereas the recorded example is flat. Compare SWYOR-F6C02C.
