Description: | A copper-alloy mount with four arms, measuring 36mm by 36mm. The mount has a central circular boss which is 10mm in diameter, the arms of the mount each end in a trifoliate shape and, on the front face, these have been decorated with grooves which run parallel to their edges, these grooves are now very worn. In the centre of each of the trifoliate terminals there are circular rivet holes, two of these holes still have the rivets within them. The back face of the mount is flat and undecorated. It is unclear what this mount may have been used for, it could possibly be from a book cover or from either some sort of human dress or horse harness, no exact parallel could be found. The mount is likely to be 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 |
