Description: | Copper alloy terminal, crescent shape with knobbed terminals which join. The back is flat and the crescent has a strong angle on the front, making it a slightly facetted quarter-circle in cross-section. It is thicker at the wider side, opposite the knobs. There is the stub of a rectangular-section shaft (5 mm by 2 mm) in the centre of the outer edge, at the widest thickest point. Overall the width is 16 mm, the surviving length is 15.5 mm and the maximum thickness 4.5 mm. This shape is used for pendants (Oldenstein 1976 Taf.45) but the present example would be very small, and the attachment is wrong; much more similar in size and shape is the terminal of one of a set of six narrow mounts from Verulamium (Waugh & Goodburn in Frere 1972, Fig 33 no 43) found in a context of 130-150 AD. | Subjects: | mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
