Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a sheet copper alloy, sub-lozenge, mount dating from the 13th-15th century. It was attached by at least two rivets, the remains of which are still in place on opposing points of the lozenge. Two further holes at the remaining two points may have been for further rivets (for which no evidence remains) or attachment holes for pendants. The mount has broken at these holes. The object is severly corroded and little remains of the decoration, although a central raised lozenge-shaped area would have formed part of the relief.
