Bone mounts attached to wood with gilded copper alloy plates. Waterman 1959 describes YORYM : 1948.500.1 to 1948.500.6 as "Wooden casket with bone mounts. The fragments of an oak casket, covered with plain and ornamented bone strips, retained in position by flat-headed iron pins, about 0.35in long, driven in flush with the surface was found in the Coppergate Group A deposit. The engraved ornament consists for the most part of a simple, compass drawn, single or concentric circles, sometimes with open centre but a more elaborate openwork, set within an incised pointed-oval, is backed by thin pieces of sheet bronze, evidently gilded on the upper surface, which when new would have served to emphasize this feature of the design."
