The mount has a flat oval plate that is decorated with an incised voided curved-armed cross, forming a lozenge-shape, around a central fleur made up of one incised annulet surrounded by eight semi-circular arcs which form the edges of the petals. The flower is backed by parallel oblique lines within the arms of the cross, and bey…
