A cast copper alloy mount of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The mount is teardrop shaped and plano-convex in section. The rounded end of the mount is decorated with a single longitudinal cleft, while the pointed end is slightly expanded. Much of the original surface is lost, so surface treatments or decoration are indiscernible. The Surface is now largely covered by green corrosion product. The reverse is undecorated and bears two round sectioned spikes for attachment. The spikes have been bent roughly 90 degrees, likely to attach them. This mount likely once formed decoration for a …

Copper alloy zoomorphic mount terminal or fitting of uncertain date, possibly Late Iron Age or Early Roman The cast mount appears to be complete or near-complete (with a length of 19.7mm and a weight of 8.2g) and comprises the head, body and fore limbs of a beast, possibly a bear or similar. The mount was attached using a fixing within the sub-circular sectioned, hollowed end (of 9.8mm – 10.4mm diameter), which is angled at an approximate 45° angle to the axis of the body. The fixing appears to have been ferrous but is now heavily corroded with no magnetic trace of iron surviv…
