MOUNT
Unique ID: HAMP-FE10C6
Object type certainty: Certain
A corroded cast copper-alloy gilded mount of possible medieval date. It has a circular, domed main body with an off-centre integral shank. This latter has been bent as a result of old damage and seems to have been truncated. The upper surface is plain, but highly corroded. Emerging at one point is a flat rectangular protrusion perforated at its centre. The object now has a red-brown metal covered by off-white and light-green surface corrosion, particularly on the lower surface. Some smaller areas of dark-green patina survive on the upper surface, with traces of gilt around the perforation.
