Description: | An incomplete copper alloy probably Anglo-Saxon (AD c.500-c.600) mount in the shape of a fish, missing its tail and the tip of its head. Overall, the object measures 19.2mm long, 9.3mm wide and 1.1mm thick. It weighs 0.6g.The mount is fish-shaped; the dorsal and pectoral/pelvic fins survive as projections from the upper and lower edges of the mount. The mount is flat (rectangular in cross-section) and features of the fish, its scales, gills as well as details of the fins are engraved. The eye is formed by a copper alloy rivet.The mount is quite similar to a shield mount from Mildenhall (West, S., 1998, A corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk, p.234, Fig. 116, no. 4).
