Description: | A copper alloy medieval mount with a single bar attachment across the back dating to the period AD c1400-c1540. The mount is flat and is heart shaped. The front is decorated with zigzag lines round the edges of the heart with a zigzag line down the centre and short zigzag sections in the centre of each half of the heart. The two rivet holes are in the top centre of the lobes. The back of the mount is undecorated. The rivet holes have rivets in them comprising a single piece of copper alloy which has been bent at right angles towards the ends for insertion into the rivet holes, creating a bar attachment on the back of the mount.
