Description: | Three pieces of box mount, all perhaps from the same box. They are all D-shaped in section, and all vary in width, one from 4 to 5.5 mm, another from 5 to 6 mm, and the third from 6 to 7 mm. The narrowest has an almost right-angled turn, the middle-sized one a rounder curve and the widest is flat. All are corroded but have the worn remains of relief decoration at one end, consisting of transverse ridges and V-shapes with the centre of the final V shape extending as a tapering point a little further down the highest part of the mount (on the widest one this tapering point is not visible, perhaps due to corrosion). The widest has one intact circular rivet hole and a second incomplete one at the opposite end from the decoration; at the end beyond the decoration, the strip flattens. The middle-sized one has no rivet holes, but flattens at both ends; at one end this flattening is beyond the decoration. The narrowest one has one intact circular rivet hole, possibly a second broken one, and may begin to flatten beyond the decoration. The surviving unbent lengths are: widest, 43.5 mm; middle, c. 60 mm; narrowest, c. 43 mm. Total weight, 10.62g. | Subjects: | mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
