How big is the mount? It looks a bit like the fossil sea urchins that sometimes turn up in AS sites.

Ooh, that's bigger than I thought. Thanks!
This is really beautiful craftsmanship. Would this have only been used by a member of a royal family?
Certainly someone of high-status, though not necessarily of the ruling lineage :)
Thank you, I wasn't sure who had access to gold.
