Description: | Heavy-duty copper-alloy mount, probably from a large belt or harness. Made from a single piece of copper alloy, one end is a circular plate 26 mm in diameter with a large integral rivet on the reverse. A tapering projection from the circular plate bends around and expands at the end to accommodate a perforation into which the other end of the rivet fits. The bend is now broken. This mount is probably medieval; the alternative, that it is a late Roman belt-fitting (a 'rosette-plate'), seems less likely due to the lack of decoration and the rather large heavy feel of the object. | 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 |
