Description: | Copper alloy mount, probably post medieval in date. The mount has a central raised dome (with a hollow back) with four arms radiating in a cross. Only one of these arms appears to be complete and has an elaborate terminal with a separate circular copper alloy rivet. The decoration on the arms of the cross looks like it could be zoomorphic although this is not clear and it could just be abstract or floral. The edges of each arm are quite jagged and the object may have been tinned/silvered. It is likely to be a furniture fitting or decorative mount. The object weighs 7.47g and measures 38mm in length across the most complete section, 30mm in width and 5.5mm in thickness (across the dome). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
