Title
2008 T754 Ryther, North Yorkshire
Description
English: Medieval mount, which takes the form of a roundel with a beaded border and a raised central setting containing cloisonné enamel or glass in blue, green and red. The individual cells containing the glass are fashioned from gold wire inexpertly joined together. The central setting within a circle has the appearance of a stone. There are four cells placed symmetrically round the central cell, red in colour, with the appearance of petals of a flower. Between each of these petal-like cells, there is a semi-circular cell, coloured green, placed against the outer edge of the roundel. At one end of the roundel a fixing or additional ornament is attached, consisting of a bulbous central section and two circular apertures. On the reverse, which is plain and flat, a recess, roughly keyhole-shaped, probably provided the main method of attachment for the mount.

The mount is silver-gilt with gold wires forming the cloisons and dates from the thirteenth century.
