A gilded silver mount of early medieval date. It is roughly oval-shaped and the front depicts a human mask flanked by stylised birds' heads. Substantial gilding survives across the front surface, with areas missing or worn off on the mask's brow and nose, and the outer border above the brow. The mask appears to wear a hood or head-dress which covers the hair and runs below the chin. In the centre is a triangular stamped motif with a central 'trunk' and several 'branches' on each side. Traces of additional stamps are now obscured by wear and damage. The mask's eyes are pellets set w…

An incomplete copper-alloy early-medieval decorative mount. Roughly circular in shape with a rounded front face and concave flat back face. The mount is open work and appears to depicts an animal which curls around itself and may be biting its own tail, there are thinner vine-like tendrils and possible limbs curving around and between the main body of the beast. There is a possible circular drilled eye in the probable head area, where the two ends of the beast meet. This style is similar to the late early medieval style of Urnes and therefore this mount is most likely to be c. 1050-11…
