Description: | A cast copper alloy mount with some surviving gilding. This mount is square in shape and is now slightly bent. The front of the mount has been decorated with a low relief floral design, within which traces of gilding survive. There are two rivets holes visible on this surface. The rivet holes are located in the bottom corners of the mount. No rivets survive.
The reverse is undecorated. A small hook projects from the reverse; this would have presumably been used to attach the mount to a strap. The metal is a dark greyish-green colour with traces of gilding surviving and the obverse. This object probably dates to the 16th or 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
