Early Medieval mount; Anglo-Saxon mount with Style 1 beasts, dating to the 6th or early 7th century; Cast copper alloy mount with gilded openwork sections. Mount is sub-rectangular with crossing, relief-moulded lines sectioning it into triangular sections. The crossing point of these lines is off-set, giving differing sizes to the resulting sections. The largest section is undecorated but has a possible remnant of solder present, which may indicate that something else was once attached, potentially a silver appliqué, in the Bichrome Style. The small section (diagonally opposite the l…

Early medieval mount; Cast copper alloy mount, possibly a stirrup mount or similar, of probable 11th or 12th century date. The mount is basically sub-triangular in shape with stylised zoomorphic decoration, cast in relief. The narrow end of the mount has been squared off and has two circular rivet holes pierced through it. There is no other indication of the method of fixing. The rivet holes are positioned such that they indicate nostrils and the decoration then curls round to indicate a triangular snout, eyes, an eyebrow ridge and pointed ears at the top of the mount. Length 44.3mm, …

Medieval mount; Cast copper alloy openwork mount with settings for four stones. The settings are reminiscent of the ‘turrets’ on medieval annular brooches, suggesting a 13th/14th century date. The mount consists of a long, narrow triangle formed from thin bands of metal of rectangular cross-section. There is a small rivet at each corner, all of which appear to be of a more iron-rich metal than the main body of the mount, since they have a red-brown appearance while the mount has a green patina. There are tall, cylindrical settings at the apex of the triangle and in the centre of ea…

Early-medieval copper-alloy rectilinear mount, probably from horse harness. It has chip-carved gilded Style I decoration dating it to the early Anglo-Saxon period, 6th century AD. The mount is rectangular with a single rivet in the centre near one end. The other end of the mount is broken away suggesting that it was originally part of a larger object. The decoration is in a single panel which follows the rectangular shape of the mount. The Style I zoomorphic design suggests a crouching beast facing right with a curled tail at the far left, a segmented body along the top and both legs …

Medieval strap mount; Cast copper alloy mount in the shape of a crowned head, of probable 14th century date. The mount is cast with a tri-lobed crown, each lobe being in the form of a roughly triangular triple frond. There is a small cast point for the nose and incised lines indicate triangular eyes and a straight mouth. A single copper alloy rivet is still present, positioned in the centre of the forehead at the base of the crown. There is some indication of a break at the base of the chin, suggesting that the head may originally have been the terminal of a larger mount, possibly even…

Early medieval mount; fragment of cast copper alloy mount of late Early Medieval date, probably 10th or 11th century. The mount is a curving, roughly lozenge-shaped piece with a rounded knop extending from one side and further protrusions to either side of that. It is decorated on one face with interlace patterns in low relief, reminiscent of Anglo-Scandinavian styles. The other face appears undecorated. There is no obvious method of fixing apparent on this piece and the ends seem rather rough, suggesting that it has broken away from a larger object. There is a grey-green patina over t…

CURATOR'S REPORT Two 9th century silver mounts. Description of find Two engraved silver mounts with remains of niello inlay. One of the mounts is a flat, oval plaque, the other one consists of a silver band forming an oval and cracked at one of the narrow ends of the oval. The band is lacking a portion at this end and further, fine cracks in the metal are visible here and in other places, running perpendicular to the edge. Four rivet holes are visible close to one edge of the band. The cross-section of the band here is slightly wider than that on the other edge. This thinner edg…

The mount is decorated one face with incised, angular interlace-type decoration forming repeating triangular motifs. There is gilding remaining across much of the face. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The mount has been bent into a curved shape but would originally have been flat and presumably fixed to a casket or strap. …

Iron Age cast copper alloy cylindrical object. The mount is split longitudinally, opening up the cylinder, making it slightly distorted; the original diameter was probably c.10mm. Around each end of the cylinder is a narrow fine groove border; two wide shallow groove then follow inwards and meet in the middle at two closely-spaced, narrow fine grooves; these shallow grooves curve and diverge slightly towards the split, one end terminating in a raised and protruding knop (width 3.5mm, length of protrusion 2mm), the other in a rounded cut-out. It appears that the knop originally fitted i…
