A corroded cast copper-alloy openwork mount in the form of a fleur-de-lis. The lower surface is flat while the upper surface is moulded with bevelled sides. Uppermost are the three fleurs of the lis, with perforations within the side fleurs. The motif rests on a transverse ridge, below which a pair of perforated loops that echo the side fleurs. Central below the ridge is a tapering 'stalk'. There are no obvious means of attachment on the lower surface; it is assumed the mount could be riveted through the holes. The object has corroded leaving a red-brown metal covered in off-white corrosion product; three of the holes have been entirely filled by the latter. No direct parallel has been found for the object; the metal suggests a medieval or, equally, post-medieval date.
