Description: | A copper alloy multifoil mount of medieval date probablt dating from AD 1200 - 1450. It is sub-circular, concave below and convex above, with nine moulded lobes on the upper face. There are irregularly spaced and are separated by a wide groove between each lobe and the next. There is a small circular hole in the centre of the mount. It probably had a separated attachment rivet, but this is now missing. The mount is 39.1mm diameter, 4.3mm thick and 20.75g.Two similar octofoil mounts are illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (1991, 194, fig.122, no's:1034&1037), but multifoil mounts such as this one appear less common. They suggest that copper alloy mounts were in use from the early 13th to early 15th century (ibid. 162). Compare LEIC-2017E1, YORYM-251E75 and YORYM-E1BEF7.
