Description: | Medieval copper alloy hooked mount, possibly form a belt or book? 59mm long, 22mm wide and 1.5mm thick with a weight of 8.67grams. The object consists of a rectangular flat plate with no sign of decoration. It has one complete and one incomplete circular fixing hole at each corner of one short end. The other end has two incomplete fixing holes set in each corner and in between these is a flat triangular projection which tapers into a long shaft with a semi-circular cross section, which curves upwards at its end. Directly below the triangular projection, about one quarter of the way down the objects length, is a fifth complete circular fixing hole. The object is in poor condition and bent, but it does have what appears to be gilding around the lower complete hole (bottom left as photographed).
