Copper alloy mount. Cast oval plate with four teardrop-shaped hollows on its display side, one now open, and with the stubs of three integrally cast prongs on the back. The integral prongs would usually point to a post-medieval date. However, the reddish cast to the metal, the worn surface condition and the – for that later period – unusual form may rather point to an Anglo-Scandinavian context for this object. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1050 Length: 33.5mm, Width: 18.9mm, Thickness (clear of rivets): 1.9mm, Weight: 5.33gms

Copper alloy and iron mount. Cast copper alloy plate with concentric moulded decoration, of thickness 1.8mm at its outer edge. The decoration comprises, described from the centre outwards: a plain flat central boss, a gutter separating the boss from a thin and possibly cabled strand and continuing beyond it; a thicker cabled band in a gutter with a further narrow strand beyond it; and finally a plain flat border. Gilding traces are trapped in the relief of the decoration. The back bears the corroded stub of a ferrous metal fixing pin. Suggested date: probably Early Medieval, 410-850 D…

Copper alloy possible mount fragment. Cast straight-sided plate with a collared rounded end with a rivet or other copper alloy inset; if indeed a mount the object is presumably broken at its narrower end. There is the suspicion of a stepped [at expanded end] and partly keeled form [towards the putative broken end] to the display side, though no section views were available to confirm this point.

Copper alloy mount. A thin straight-sided plate of possibly plano-convex section with incised linear decoration on its display side, plain on the flat back, with a rivet passing through a drilled hole towards one end. Bent and broken at the broader end, probably across a further fixing point and perhaps by rough removal from its setting. The source record suggests this could be 'an early medieval pin shank [probably]', an identification for which this reporter sees scant reason.

Copper alloy mount. Cast chip-carved mount with a thin layer of rust covering large areas but not obscuring the nature of decoration. The rust probably comes from the iron rivets which once attached the mount to an important object. The back is plain. This is probably from an ecclesiastical context [cf. Whitby parallels] such as a book cover or a shrine. Another part of the same object was reported from Melton Ross, making this a ‘find of note’ for its significance in tracking the members of a single Viking raiding party. An accompanying text extract suggests an ‘8th …

Copper alloy and iron mount fragment. A fragment of cast copper alloy with straight edges and ends and retaining substantial rusted iron accretions, inluding a bolt or fixing, and staining from the apparent loss of another. The object is twisted and torn as if by rough removal from its setting. The display side bears a wandering interlaced ladder-pattern crudely incised; the source record identifies this as Viking-Age.

Copper alloy mount. Cast zoomorphic mount in the form of a beast, perhaps a boar with protruding tapered snout, forward-falling ear and a small mouth agape below, and with powerful hindquarters represented by a large comma-shaped openwork curl with a small hind leg passing over its rearward part. Some detail of the creature’s muzzle appears moulded in low relief on either side. The creature surmounts an integrally cast concavo-convex gutter with a rounded end, and with a slightly flared and longitudinally ribbed socket behind its rump. The hollow of the gutter is filled with an o…

Copper alloy mount. Cast plate with a seven-pointed asymmetrical slightly concavo-convex star form at one end, a constricted midpart, and a smaller trefoil or lis-shaped end. Neatly incised lines at the star end divide four rays into three compartments each, the effect resembling the sails of a windmill; similar lines also subdivide the features at the smaller end. A small [diameter 1.5mm] fixing hole is drilled through the centre of the star, with a larger [diameter 2mm] hole at the smaller end. A reddish-brown tint is often a feature of Viking Age metalwork.

Copper alloy probable mount fragment. A small irregular object with an integral pin or lug of diameter 2.9mm projecting from its back. What remains of the mount itself now resembles the emaciated snout of a tiny wolf with jaws agape wearing a bowl-shaped helmet of modern style with an incised line at its rim, but with ears projecting to either side - the maker’s intention was perhaps different to the effect described. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 410-800 Length: 10.6mm, Width: 8.2mm, Thickness (overall including lug): 8.3mm, Weight: 2.18gms

Copper alloy, silver and iron mount. Triangular copper alloy plate of copper alloy with a rounded raised edge surrounding a sunken silvered or inset plate bearing zoomorphic decoration in Salin Style 1 (information kindly proferred by Dr Kevin Leahy). The back of the object is rust-coated and this points to its having been detached from an iron setting. The inset motif originates as a distorted triskele at its wider end. There is a small probable beast head terminal to its shortest curling arm which encloses an eye-like curl and pellet; the second branch is crooked below the first to r…

Copper alloy possible mount fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A narrow cast D-section or plano-convex strip with a possible collar at one end separating it from a narrow concavo-convex ‘bowl’, a feature which might suggest a function as a small recent cruet spoon. However, white metal plating [or gilding - see below] appears only on the convex side of the object, confirming its placement as a mount with the flat side against its setting. Darkened by treatment with oil by the finder. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 750-850 Length: 23.6mm, Width: 7.6mm, Thickness (at…

Copper alloy mount. Cast plate with symmetrical addorsed comma-shaped curls enclosing loops at the end of each curl, with a smaller pair of addorsed loops enclosed between them. Gilded. One curved edge may be original to the object; opposed straight sides may suggest the cutting down of a larger object, and that edge opposite the curved end may also have been broken in antiquity. The sides are now indented, and this too may be a modification made with short straight cuts to excise two wedge-shaped slivers. This could be the pelta-shaped foot from an Early Anglo-Saxon square headed bro…
