An incomplete copper alloy mount of Iron Age date. The mount is trilobate with a hollow central lobe flanked by two slightly smaller, off centre, hollow lobes.

A worn projection is also present at the middle of the upper surface of the centre lobe though its purpose is likely to be decorative rather than functional. To the reverse of the mount small knops project from the concave centre of each lobe. …
