An incomplete probable Medieval copper-alloy mount dating to circa AD 1200-1400. It consists of a rectangular strip of copper-alloy, broken at either end and now bent and distorted out of shape. The front face carries traces of gilding and is apparently decorated with a broadly oval incised shape containing two opposed lozenge recesses.  No lugs rivet holes or attachments are visible on the extant piece but it likely served as a decorative fitting from a casket or an item of furniture.  Length: 40.5mm, Width: 13.9mm, Thickness: 2.2mm, Weight: 5.58g

A fragment of a copper-alloy mount of late early-medieval to medieval date. A long, narrow strip with a break at either end. The main body is C-shaped in cross-section with a convex outer surface and concave reverse. To one end there is a terminal with a moulded outer face and flat reverse. This moulding consists of two transverse raised ridges towards the outer end and a raised chevron at the inner end, together forming the slightly zoomorphic effect that is typical on mounts of this form. Beyond the terminal, in the break at the outer end, the edge of a small circular hole …
