A Viking Age cast bronze decorative mount dating to approximately the 9th–11th century AD. The piece is circular in form with a central perforation, surrounded by a ring of six raised domed bosses arranged symmetrically. The outer edge is decorated with a beaded border, a motif commonly seen in Viking Age metalwork. Mounts of this type were typically used as decorative fittings attached to leather straps, belts, or horse harness equipment. They could also serve as dress fittings on clothing or bags, providing both reinforcement and ornamentation.

The surface displays a dark green to brown patina developed over centuries, with minor wear and small edge imperfections consistent with age and archaeological finds.
