An incomplete cast copper alloy mount of early medieval date. The mount appears to have been rectangular in plan when whole though now only a small portion remains, it is not possible to ascertain the exact proportion of the loss. It consists of a raised rectangular border within which is a decorated panel. The panel is decorated with a Style I animal motif though only the foot of the beast remains. It is common with Style I decoration that the motifs can be interpretable in a number of ways, especially if turned through 90 degrees, although some may seem impossible to interpret.
\nThe reverse of the mount is undecorated and a single long attachment rivet is present in the centre of the fragment.
\nThe metal is a dark brownish-green colour and is slightly worn. The mount is 20.9mm long, 15.7mm wide, 8.9mm thick and weighs 3.4g.
