File:Early medieval mount (FindID 207184).jpg

English: Early medieval mount; cast copper alloy mount with applied decoration with inlaid silver wire. The mount probably dates from the 11th century. It is of roughly triangular shape with large, circular rivet holes. There are two holes in the ‘base’ of the triangle, one of which has a break running through it. There is then a smaller hole in the centre of the mount and the tip of the triangle has a curved break, suggesting that there was a fourth rivet hole there. The mount is decorated on one face with narrow, applied strips forming four, back-to-back curls. Each of the strips is further decorated with inlaid silver wire. The reverse is undecorated. The mount has a rough, grey-green patina over its surface. It is cracked across the tip although it is still in one piece at the moment. Length 63.1mm, width 24.3mm, thickness 2.2mm, weight 8.9g
