Description: | A cast, circular copper-alloy mount of probable late 6th-7th century AD date (Aberg; 1926).
The mount has a thin border around the edge and, within this, a swirling loop decoration of typical late Style 1/early Style 2 design. At the centre is a small circular U-shaped recess contained within a thin border. This recess probably originally contained an inlay. Close to the outside of the mount is a small hole. This may have been pierced at a later date in order to convert the mount to a pendant.
The reverse of the piece is undecorated and has three integral rivets arranged in a triangular formation; one of these pins has been bent over.
Measures 28.9mm diameter, by 2.1mm thick. The inset in the centre is 4.9mm diameter and 1mm deep, whilst the pierced hole is 1.8mm diameter. The pins on the reverse are up to 8.3mm long and are 2.3mm diameter (circular in section). The weight is 12.60g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
