Title
Early medieval mount or brooch (front, reverse, profile)
Description
English: Cast copper-alloy mount or brooch. Early medieval. Probably Irish. Mass: 12.3g; length: 26.0mm; width: 25.2mm; depth: 8.9mm. The mount is square in plan with a raised border projecting to the front and reverse which is thickest at the corners. The front of the object is decorated with fine raised ribs forming a central square with a pointed-oval design at each corner. The reserved fields outside the inner square are decorated with fine cross-cross ribs and curves. Due to the poor surface of the object – which has a heavy covering of green corrosion products – it is unclear if there is any decoration in the central reserved square field. On the reverse of the object there are two pierced lugs with the remains of an iron ?pin within.
