Description: | An early medieval gilded silver pyramidal mount, probably from a sword scabbard. The mount is hollow and has a flat top with a square perforation, probably a setting for a gemstone or glass inlay which has since been lost.The mount has four faces, each decorated with a design of three interlocking, recessed triangles within an incised border around the edges. The remains of gilding are visible within the recessed triangles. Between the triangles are two parallel incised grooves forming two chevrons.An integral silver bar (width 2.4mm) runs transversely across the base of the mount.
