Description: | A medieval copper alloy sexfoil mount dating to the period c. AD 1270 - 1450. The mount is convex with a correspondingly concave back. Each petal is rounded with a central recess. Each petal is separated from its neighbour by a slight recess. At the centre of the mount is a circular rivet hole.This style of mount was very common in the medieval period and Egan and Pritchard (1993, fig.119, 120 & 121) illustrate a large number from excavations in London and suggest that they date from c.AD 1270-1450 (ibid., 26, fig.13).
