Description: A medieval gold mount. The mount is octagonal in shape and has a central setting, now distorted, which contains a reddish stone, probably a garnet, the upper surface of which is flat and polished. Surrounding this central setting there is a beaded border. On the reverse are two small piercings, presumably the means of attaching this mount to another component, perhaps the hoop of a finger ring or the frame of a brooch.
