Medieval gilt copper alloy mount of concavo-convex cross-section in the form of an equal-armed cross with pointed oval arms and a small saltire with an attachment hole at their common centre. One cross arm which is larger than the other three and has lost its tip is the only one to carry a pair of longitudinal engraved grooves. Gilding survives in the grooves and in the eight V-sectioned spaces between the arms.  No close parallel noted. It is even possible that the broken arm may have been a suspension loop and that the central hole may have held a d…

At the end of each arm of the saltire is a low-relief leaf motif, with a sunken, lobed centre and an outcurved leaf to either side which is inlaid with a niell…
