Description: | A medieval copper alloy mount, dating to the period c.AD 1350-1400. The mount is D shaped in cross section and comprises a square terminal with rounded corners and a small central aperture for a rivet, now missing. This expands into the globular central body, which exhibits a series of incised crossing diagonal grooves which create a lattice effect. The mount then narrows to the other terminal which mirrors the first and retains a copper alloy rivet within the rivet hole. The reverse is flat and undecorated. A green patina covers the surface.The mount measures 15.46mm in length, 7.81mm in width, 1.45mm in thickness and weighs 0.58g.Cf. Egan and pritchard (1991) p.214, fig. 134, no.1161.
