MOUNT
Unique ID: NLM-FB7400
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Copper alloy possible bar mount. Cast plate with oval ends and lightly engrailed edges, possibly comparable with a leaf design. A sub-rectangular slot is punched from what appears as the slightly convex display face. This is too large for a riveted fastening of usual; medieval type. It might alternatively be the bolster for a knife or tool, though the slot lacks the V-section to be expected of the former. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1450.
Length: 20mm, Width: 10.9mm, Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 0.88gms.
