A copper alloy brooch or mount dating from the ninth century. The object is a rectangular plaque with two lugs on the reverse. It measures 25.7mm long, 20mm wide and 8.5mm thick. The lugs on the reverse are widely spaced, and are not central. Unfortunately they are broken which makes it impossible to determine the function of this object. If both lugs had circular holes, the object could be a strap mount. However, if one also had a slot to the hole, it could have been used as a brooch, with the pin attached to one lug and slotting into the other as a catch. Since the lugs are closer t…
