Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval (AD c.1200-c.1500) mount, missing one of its terminals. Overall, the mount measures 32.7mm long, 15.9mm wide and 0.6mm thick. It weighs 1.37g. The mount is made from thin sheet copper alloy and is broadly rectangular with slightly expanded terminals. The object appears to have been symmetrical, with a circular rivet hole through each terminal (one of these holes is incomplete and only a small amount of one edge is visible). The rectangular area between the two terminals is decorated with three straight longitudinal lines with two zigzagged longitudinal lines in the gaps between. Each line is formed from very small engraved zigzags. The surviving terminal is has small grooves cut into its outer edges. The reverse is flat and undecorated.
