Description: | A copper-alloy mount, it is quatrefoil and 28mm by 28mm in size. It has a rectangular protrusion in each corner, and a circular hole inbetween each of these, there are therefore four holes in total. In the centre there is a circular boss, semi-circular in cross-section, with a circular hole through the centre of it. The front face of the mount has been gilded but there are no traces of gilding on the back face. This mount is similar to those found in London which have no function but are purely decorative and are medieval in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, p184-185). | 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 |
