Early medieval gilt copper alloy mount, perhaps from harness or furniture, subsequently converted into a brooch with the addition of a pin lug and catchplate, and now in two pieces (break not ancient).

The two lateral lobes depict animal masks which, though apparently complete, comprise no more than a pair of eyes…
