Description: | A copper-alloy mount, in the shape of the keep of a castle, 14mm in length and 12mm in width. The castle keep has two towers either side of a taller central tower beneath which there is an entrance way. On the front face the turrets of the keep have been defined by mouldings, the back face is flat and undecorated. There are two small rivet holes, one through the top of the tallest tower and the other through the bottom of one of the shorter towers. No parallel for this mount could be found but it seems likely that it would have been worn on a strap, such as a belt and have had a decorative function. It is likely to be late Medieval or early Post-Medieval in date. | Subjects: | Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
