Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel strengthening plate / mount or eschutcheon from a sheet metal cauldron / vessel of later Medieval date (AD 1200-1500). The plate is sub-triangular in shape and has a circular hole on the widest end which would have allowed the handle to pass through. At the narrower of the ends are two rivet holes, one hole still has the copper rivit in situ. The rivet if formed from a tube of copper alloy that has been compressed at either end forming a rivet. The mount is made up of one piece of copper alloy sheet folded over to form two fairly equal sizes. One side has a central corragation running across it, presumably to mirror the lip of the vessel it was fixed to and to stop any twisting of the mount during use.The fitting measures 55mm high, 57mm wide and is 11.09mm at the thickest point; it weighs 54.84 grams
