Broad period: UNKNOWN

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Undated copper alloy and silver mount, 29mm in diameter and 11mm thick. The object is in a fair condition with a green patina and weighs 13.67 grams. The object appears to be the back plate of some sort of mount and has two semi-circular bands of copper alloy, 26mm long and 10mm wide, attached to the back. These are incomplete, with broken edges, but appear to have been fixing loops. Curiously the object has five silver rivets, four are arranged in a square formation but the fifth is in the centre and underneath the loops. This may suggest that the loops are later additions?
