Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, possibly a type of dress accessory or decorative object fitting. In plan the mount is an elongated heart-shape, with a bulbous circular knop which is domed in profile at the tip. The upper surface of the mount is also slightly domed, and has moulded decoration in the form of a series of swirls. Protruding between the lobes of the heart is an integral inverted drop shape with a central rivet hole. The reverse of the mount is flat. The surface of the mount has developed a mid green incomplete patina. The mount weighs 1.7g. In length it is 23.59mm and 12.48mm wide.
The dating of the mount is uncertain, but it most likely to be late Medieval to early Post Medieval date. An identical mount was recorded from Hanbury, Worcestershire (WAW-E49216) which had the remains of an iron rivet in the rivet hole suggesting the object is a mount rather than a pendant. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
