Description: | Medieval (13th to 15th centuries) mount: The copper-alloy mount is in the form of a moulded lis. The reverse is flat and undecorated and has a single, oval-sectioned stud which tapers to a blunt point. The surface of the mount has traces of a well-developed dark green patina otherwise the surface is slightly abraded. The mount measures 30.2mm long, 22.3mm wide and 13.01mm thick at the stud. It weighs 5.78g.The mount probably dates to the Medieval period based on the style and surface condition. Similar mounts, described as strap fittings, with separate rivets, are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (2002), No. 1084 and Ottaway and Rogers (2002), No. 13377 and are dated to the Medieval period. The stud of the recorded example seems to be quite substantial compared to those normally found on strap fittings so it may have decorated furniture or vehicles.Egan, G. and Pritchard, F., 2002 Dress Accessories, c. 1150- c. 1450 (Medieval finds from Excavations in London) London: Boydell PressOttaway, P. and Rogers, N., 2002.
