An incomplete gold mount, possibly of medieval date (AD 1350-1550). The mount is a slightly convex sexfoil in the form of a flower with six petals and circular recessed centre. Each of the "petals" has a hammered pellet at each side and a central incised linear decoration which creates the impression of foliage .The reverse of the mount is slightly concave with a recessed aspect centrally which is the result of a broken projection/spur which would have been used to affix the mount to clothing. A similar example is illustrated in Egan, Dress Accessories, 2002, P 243, no 1297.

A copper-alloy mount dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1300 to 1450. The mount is lozenge shaped in plan with a double border running all the way around the edge of the mount.

Number 1077 is also copper alloy, has raised decoration and has been dated to the period c. 1270 to 135…
