Description: | T-shaped mount, made of cast copper alloy, with a six pointed star at the base of the T. It is 25mm in length from the top of the T to the tip of the star and is in fair condition. There is a damaged area across the T bar, suggesting a piece has been broken off and there are three 1mm circular stamps across the middle of this part of the mount. Three more circular stamps go down the length of the mount, with one forming the centre of the sexfoil star. There are smaller circular punch marks along the centre of each of the star's lobes and forming an oval on the surface of the main part of the mount. This oval is formed around the second of the larger punch marks. As it is highly decorated, the mount would have been on show, but it is not clear what it was attached to or how it was attached, as there are no traces of rivets or holes on the underside. It is probably medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
