A mostly complete, copper-alloy sexfoil mount, dating c.1270-1450. This is a multifoil, domed mount. It had two separate rivets, although only one survives (Egan 1991:189, fig 959). These sexfoils have varying amounts of attention paid to the cutting out of the flower shapes and this shares similarities with irregularly trimmed sexfoils as seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991:187, fig C).
