Description: | Incomplete copper alloy mount, probably from a casket or a chest or their related straps. The mount has a pierced circular end defined by a moulded transverse collar and with a pointed terminal. The shank is D-shaped in cross-section and terminates with a flatted and widened plate which is curved over and returns underneath. There is a rivet hole in both upper and lower plates indicating that the object wrapped around an item rather than the return being the result of damage. Similar items belonging to caskets and lids are illustrated in The Medieval Household, pages 66-68 (Egan, 1998). | Subjects: | Casket | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
