Description: | A medieval (1350-1500) copper alloy mount with separate rivet, possibly with a break at either end (but wear makes this difficult to determine). The mount is D-shaped with a convex, decorated front and concave reverse. From the centre of the straight edge a solid arm extends, D-shaped in cross-section and measuring 4.4x2.9mm, and 4.1mm in length. This is decorated to the curving front with two transverse ribs, and to the flat reverse with a wider, flat transverse rib.The straight edge of the mount is divided from the rest of the convex area by a flanking groove. The remainder of the front surface is decorated with zig-zag grooves.The rivet is slightly bent, 5.3mm in length and circular in cross-section (1.8mm diameter).The mount measures 14.2mm in length, 10.4mm in width, 2.9mm in depth (though with a max.depth of 5.3mm at the rivet) and weighs 1.13g.
