A copper alloy Early Medieval openwork asymetrical Urnes-style mount. It is roughly discoidal in shape with seven small attachment loops formed by the openwork design, which surrounds a larger circular hole in the centre. Its outer face is decorated with an Urnes-style animal consisting in two or more entwined serpent-like animals. The back face has traces of soldering and iron corrosion products around some of the small holes. The front face has traces of soldering.
See an example with projecting attachment holes in Meols (2007,p. 73, no. 319). On the PAS database: SF-69437C, HAMP-5EF1D1, SUR-3288E6, NARC-E78621, SF-6A969C, YORYM-C83464.
