Description: Cast openwork mercury-gilded silver mount, rectangular in shape, with a C-shaped section. Its function is unclear, but it probably covered an edge as a binding. It would have been mounted in position thanks to four small holes at its corners. The rectangular shape is framed by a triple border of two plain mouldings enclosing a beaded one. The design is cruciform, with four long-beaked, snake-like creatures, seen from above, with prominent bulging eyes, converging on a central pyramidal boss formed by the (saltire) intersection of four plain strands. This creates the impre…
