Description: | A slightly incomplete cast copper alloy square open mount, probably dating to the 12th/ 13th century AD (18mm x 19.7mm; thickness: 4.7mm; weight: 2.08g). The mount is decorated on one side with small incised lines, with approximately eight lines each side. Out of the four rivet holes in each corner, only two of the iron rivets survive. The artefact is worn but in a fair condition with a dark green patina. A similar example is illustrated in Egan & Pritchard??s ??Dress Accessories (Medieval Finds from Excavations in London 3) c. 1150 ?? c. 1450??, 2002, pages 195-6, ref no 1046, and is dated from c. 1200-30. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
