Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy mount of probable Post-Medieval date (AD 1500 – AD 1700). Length 34.3mm, width14.9mm and 2.0mm thick. Weight 2.92g.
The mount, probably for a belt or strap, is sub-triangular in plan. It is slightly convex at the front and slightly concave at the rear. One end is pointed and the opposite end is in the form of a tri-lobed knop. The front face is decorated with six oblique grooves, three either side of the longitudinal centre-line. All the grooves extend from the centre-line in a downward direction. At the rear are two integral spikes situated along the longitudinal centre-line. These spikes are circular in cross-section and have a maximum diameter of 1.3mm. One spike is complete and is 6.0mm in length. Just the stub of the other spike has survived.
The piece is in fair condition. The front has a patchy mid-green patina. However, there is no patina on the rear face, which is slightly corroded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Basford, Frank - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
