Silver mount. Cast rectangular openwork mount comprising a central rhomboid with a knopped loop on each of its four sides. A pair of integrally cast rivets of diameter 2.4mm and length 1.2mm with burred ends project from the back. Presumably for a belt, perhaps complementing a silver buckle suite. The finder kindly notes the fan-like pattern of fine lines on the back: these are deemed to indicate the use of a mould made of cuttlefish bone. Comparable white metal [lead/tin alloy] mounts from London are dated to 1400-1450 (Egan 1991, 205, fig. 129 nos 1112-1113), this is perhaps an …

Silver mount. Cast plate in the form of a cross potent, now roughly folded and flattened. The motif might be apt to the decoration of the cover of a missal, breviary or reliquary. A symbol resembling two conjoined lozenges is stamped into the bar at the end of one of the arms. When combined with smaller similar crosses in its angles, this symbol would become the Cross of Jerusalem, the badge of that Crusader kingdom - the military Orders held extensive lands in eastern England, though their local importance was primarily economic. This object is to be considered as Treasure on account…
