Description: | Decorative lead mount. The mount is flat, incomplete and currently semi-circular. The object is elaborately decorated on one side. The decoration has a net-like perimeter, with two further net-like bands that cross over each other in the middle towards the edge. The face of the mount has four large moulded cone-shaped projections in a line, with an oval shaped projection above at the far end. Between the two central cones is another vertically set net-like decoration which has splayed and pelleted terminals to each strand of the net. The rest of the object is missing. The reverse of the mount is decorated a large letter A, next to which is the beginnings of another letter, perhaps an 'M'. Although the decoration on the obverse of the mount looks as if it was originally circular as it compliments the motifs, the cut letter on the reverse shows that it is indeed cut from a large object. There are no obvious methods of attachment.
The object has a diameter of 50mm and a thickness of 1mm. The cone shaped projections are 5mm tall. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
