Description: | Almost Complete, cast copper alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is sub lozenge in plan, with a small knop to the upper most point and the opposite point being extended into an elongated subtriangular point. It is flat in section. The front face of the mount is decorated with a raised moulded dot at the centre of the main body of the lozenge. Radiating from this are grooved lines, now much worn. The extended point is decorated with a pair of transverse grooved lines approximately halfway along its length. The reverse of the mount is plain. One integral pointed lug survives, the other is truncated and little more than a scar survives. The original surface of the object is missing and it now has a light brown patina with patches of bright green. The mount is 28.82mm long, 13.46mm wide, 2.2mm thick and weighs 2.81g. Similar mounts can be seen in Read, 2001, Metal artefacts of antiquity, page 35. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
