Cast copper alloy mount, which was possibly a scabbard mount. This object consists of a large round "button" protruding from one end, a narrow long shaft, and another small possible knop or fixing attachment at the other end. The top of the object has a larger rounded top end and a smaller rounded opposite end, with a ridged shaft of the same width, continuing over the top of both ends. It is unclear exactly what this object is; however, the manner of the ends suggests that this object could have been used to secure an item to leather or to connect two elements together.

Record ID: NARC-E8E8A0
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
A copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The mount is cut from a very thin piece of metal. It appears to take the form of a highly stylised canine face, either a fox or a wolf. The eyes are formed from two openwork sub-triangles. Sub-rectangular knopped ears are located to either side of an angular band that runs horizontally above the eyes. The muzzle is formed as the general sub-triangular form of the mount reaches its apex. The angular form of the object is unusual and no parallel for the artefact has yet been found. Its date is therefore uncertain.

Record ID: NARC-001D56
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Milton Keynes
Workflow stage: Published
Copper-alloy mount. The mount is triangular with a circular knop on the top. It is 23 mm long and 9 mm wide. The circular knop is 5 mm wide and is decorated with five vertical raised lines. The obverse of the mount is slighty curved whilst the reverse is flat. From the reverse extends an attachment spike, bent over to run down the mount. The remains of another attachment spike are evident above the other, although this has been broken. The object was probably intended to be attached to a leather strap or belt. It is difficult to determine what period this mount dates to.
