Description: | A copper alloy mount of probable Post-medieval date. It is oval with four knops evenly spaced on the outer edge of the rim, each designed to conceal an integral rivet on the inner surface. Three rivets survive and there is some iron corrosion at the place where the fourth should be. The oval mount has a frame which is 3.63mm wide,and the centre is cut away to form an 'eagle displayed' motif, head turned to the left, and wings and feet being integral with the frame. There is a patch of copper alloy corrosion on the left wing which may suggest an adhesion in this area. The frame is incomplete just below the right wing, and is bent back below the tail and feet. It weighs 18.55g and is 51.15mm long and 49.86mm wide. Its design would suggest a Post-Medieval date, but the use of copper alloy and the probable heraldic significance of the eagle could indicate an earlier date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
