Mount

Cross-shaped bronze mount. Forged in one piece with raised middle section and distinctive "butterfly-like" decoration in the arms of the cross. The mount is one of two identical pieces but in contrast to the other piece it was not significantly affected by the flames of the funeral pyre and it is possible that someone was instructed to place it on top of the cremated remains in the sepulchral urn. Grave find, Klinta, Köping Parish, Öland.
