Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is symmetrical, consisting of three hollow convex elements joined by slightly lower 'waisted' elements. Both terminals are formed of truncated ovals with terminal knops. They are delineated by a transverse line and decorated by a pair of diagonal incisions which diverge as they approach the knop. From these terminals (W.: 11.2mm) the mount incurves to a width of c. 9mm. A pair of tranverse incisions announces the widening to the central raised element which is 13.5mm wide. The artefact features three broken lugs on its reverse face (the longest is c. 6.8mm): one just before each terminal knop, and the other below the centre of one of the 'waisted' sections. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
