An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a mount, of possible Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It is flat, triangular in form with the corners of the triangle flattened/clipped and a slightly curved profile. The front face has chip carved decoration that comprises a double grooved border within which are small triangular and floral/foliate(?) motifs formed from groups of diagonal grooves. The back face is corroded and perhaps preserves the incomplete remains of an attachment of some sort, but this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 12.97mm in lengt…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy object, possibly a mount or setting, of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It has a flat oval shaped plate that is gilded on both faces and perhaps incomplete in places around its outer edge. At the centre of the front face are two concentric circular grooves. These surround a central setting containing a small hemispherical garnet that is partially incomplete due to post-depositional damage. There is no obvious means of attachment of the object, suggesting it may have acted as an inlay, setting or similar item for a larger object. It measures 12.40mm in …

An incomplete cast copper-alloy belt or strap mount of Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date. It has a flat, oval shaped plate that tapers to a rectangular base. Extending from the base of the plate are two semi-circular lugs set at right angles to the plane of the plate and with small circular apertures. These have the remains of iron corrosion and presumably originally held in place an iron bar to enable a secondary object to hang from the mount. At each side of the mount are the remains of curving, projecting knops, one of which is now incomplete due to old breaks. The entire front face …

A cast copper-alloy object, possibly a mount, of probable Early-Medieval date. It is roughly shield-shaped in form, rectangular in section and slightly curved in profile with an unevenly cast back face and moulded and chip carved decoration on the front face. The top of the object has extensive tool marks and a slightly bevelled front edge, perhaps indicating that the surviving object has been re-worked from a larger item, such as a strap fitting, to give it its present form. The decoration on the front face appears to be moulded, but perhaps with some re-working or chip carving. It c…
