A Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy mount or stud, probably dating to c. AD 1100-1600. The mount consists of a hollow domed head, segmented by 8 incised grooves radiating from the apex of the head. A long sub-circular shank expands from the reverse, with a slightly flared terminal. Length 26.8mm; Diameter of head 22.9mm; Diameter of shank 4.1mm; Weight 10.78g. The length and thickness of the shank suggests that it was probably affixed to something fairly robust. A similar stud recorded on this database (with a comparable shank) as NMS-243ED7; the latter is identified a…

A Probable Medieval to Post-Medieval copper alloy mount, probably dating to c. AD 1200-1550. The mount is cruciform, with each arm terminating a fleur de lis, a thick blunt rivet projects from the reverse. The front of the plate appears to have had moulded decoration, although this is obscured by corrosion. There is a possible central rosette, with each arm having three strands. Length 23.6mm; Width 25.1mm; Thickness 10.6mm; Weight 4.39g. In its form the mount can be broadly compared to larger late Medieval/Early Post-Medieval book fittings (e.g. SOM-D531A6), another simil…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An Iron Age copper alloy mount, probably dating to 100 BC - AD 100. The mount is circular in plan and consists of two parts: a central copper alloy disc held within a copper alloy band. The disc has a flat reverse and a slightly concave upper face, the latter decorated with a number of recessed enamel filled cells, roughly creating two concentric bands of decoration around a central cell. A series of larger ovoid cells form the outer band; four are filled with red enamel alternating with four filled with degraded enamel, probably yellow or orange. The inner band comprises of three cir…

An incomplete Post-Medieval copper alloy mount, probably dating to c. AD 1600-1700. The fragment consists of a plate of copper alloy, with one leaf-shaped lobe surviving and an incomplete, differently shaped lobe adjoining this.

An incomplete Early Medieval to Medieval copper alloy mount, decorated in the Ringerike style, probably dating to c. AD 1000-1100. The surviving fragment comprises of a sub-rectangular plate, with one rounded end and the other truncated by an old break. The mount features cast openwork decoration in the form of a interlaced serpent, probably originally one of a pair, depicted in the Ringerike style.

An Early Medieval to Medieval copper alloy mount, probably a book, casket or strap fitting, dating to c. AD 1000-1200. The fitting consists of a short sub-trapezoidal sectioned bar of copper alloy truncated by a very worn break at one end and expanding outwards into a trapezoidal plate at the other. This trapezoidal plate similarly terminates in a worn break, in profile there is a transverse convex 'lip' immediatley preceding this break, suggesting the original presence of a deliberately expanded fold. The trapezoidal plate is perforated by a central, circular aperure. The bar appears…

A Roman copper alloy mount or strap fitting, probably dating to c. AD 250-410. The mount consists of a flat, sub-square plate, with two incised lines at either end and an internal border comprising of punched crescents and two ring-and-dot punches, with no clear order to their distribution. The mount is perforated twice, once at either end on the median line but both within the inicsed bands; both perforations retain a separate copper alloy rivet. One rivet is smaller, with a less distinct head and a reddish-brown patina, and may be a replacement. Dimensions: length 14.5mm; width 1…

A Post-Medieval gilded copper alloy openwork mount, probably dating to c. AD 1600-1700. The mount is circular in plan, with a cusped outer edge and openwork voids defining an equal armed cross with a narrower arm in each angle,. The arms of the cross extend slightly beyond the cusped border, whilst a small knop projects from the interstice of the cusps in each angle, in line with the narrower arms. The arms meet at the centre in what is probably a flower or rose, with a central pellet. The overall effect of the mount is a double rose, although it is too abraded to be certain. Two inte…
