Description: | A copper-alloy mount. The mount is 49 mm long and 8 mm wide. It has two holes, one in the centre and one at the end of its length. These presumably represent the means by which the mount was attached to another item. The form of the mount is ribbed and these ribs occur at around every 3mm, except in the central area where the fixing hole is, where there is a gap of 6 mm. The ribs themselves are around 2mm thick. The reverse of the object is plain and flat, indicating that it was attached to another item. The mount appears to be complete. The metal has taken on a green hue from the corrosion of the copper in its composition. This mount probably dates to the medieval period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
