A copper-alloy Roman to Medieval mount, dating to AD 43-1350. It consists of a sub-rectangular plate which has a perforation on the straight end. The opposite end curves slightly sideways taking a hooked shape in plan. The surfaces are not decorated and are moderately worn. The curved end of the mount recalls the ends of the S-shaped plate brooch of the Early Medieval period. Although it might look like a flattened serpent head there are no other elements to help the identification. Length: 39.41mm Width: 12.73mm Thickness: 1.15mm Weight: 2.63g

A copper-alloy fragment of a possibly Roman to Medieval mount, dating to AD 100-1250. It is a roughly L-shaped plate with breaks on both ends. The long edge has a protruding circular loop, which is now broken. One face is silvered while the opposite has traces of white metal but it is not sure if it is coating or soldering. The surfaces are worn and the hort arm is slightly bent. No prallels found. It seems to thin to be an Early Medieval girdle hunger, for which the shape would not work either. The silvering could suggest a Roman or Medieval date. Length: 25.87mm Widt…

It consists of two rectangular plates, which are pierced at both ends and are still held together by a copper-alloy rivet; the second rivet is missing.

An incomplete copper-alloy Early Medieval mount, dating to AD 700-1100. It consists of a thin sub-rectangular plate, which has a broken corner and a series of ring-and-dot motifs on the front face. The motifs are fitted in the surface randomly and some of them have a central perforation instead, which can just be the result of an harder stamping of the motif. Close to a rounded corner of the plate there is a wider circular perforation, which cuts through an edge of one of the ring-and-dot motif, evidently not respecting the decoration. The back face is undecorated. Length: 19.78m…

A complete gilded copper alloy medieval pendant suspension mount. The mount consists of a pointed oval outer plate, a smaller sub-oval back plate and a narrower strip bent in two connecting both plates. An integral rivet projects from the reverse of the outer plate and would have passed through a corresponding hole in the centre of the rear plate originally, but is now detached. Traces of gilding can be seen on the outer face. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 26, fig.13) suggest that mounts of this form intended to hold various styles of pendant were in use from c.AD 1270-c.1450.
