A circular gilt copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon Mount decorated in Anglo-Saxon Style II consisting of a frieze of four quadrupeds, each with a round head turned back so that the long oval jaws bite its own body, while the typically longer front leg interlinks with the shorter back leg on the next quadruped to the right. There are excellent parallels for this basic motif in the Staffordshire Hoard, notably in band 1 and 3 of the helmet cheek pieces, and countless other variants on the theme from Kentish disc brooches to Sutton Hoo.

Cast copper alloy mount. The object consists of a lozenge-shaped body, each end of which expands to form a stylised fleur-de-lis. This is formed at each end from an oval pierced with two circular holes; projecting from the centre of each oval is a triangular knop which terminates with a rounded point. The central lozenge is decorated with a single incised groove which borders the object. On the hollowed reverse of the object are two sub-rectangular spikes for attachment.
