Description: | Copper alloy Post-Medieval mount with integral lugs . The mount wieghs 2.08g, is 20mm in length and has a maximum width of 16mm. It is covered in a red and black patina.
Its shape resembles a fleur-de-lys with three lobes abutting a shoulder with two transverse grooves. This abutts two adjacent pierced circles which form the widest part of the mount. Where these two circles join a single lobe protubes. On the reverse are two integral bent lugs positioned along the axis of symmetry of the mount.
By comparison to objects 745-751 in Read (1988) all of which have integral lugs and some trefoil motife, the object probably dates from the 16th-17th centuries.
It is almost identical, though very slightly smaller than WILT-3FB7B6 from West Lavington, Wiltshire. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wood, Rachel | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
