Description: | A copper-alloy sexfoil mount of medieval date. Several examples of this artefact type have been found in excavations in London, in layers dating from the 14th and 15th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 186).
The object has been made from a piece of sheet metal. It is badly bent and torn but would originally have been domed with a hollow underside. On the upper surface, raised ridges define the edges of the petals. Situated on opposite sides of the mount are two small circular sewing holes.
The mount measures 23.3mm in diameter, 0.1mm thick and weighs 0.95g. | Subjects: | Sexfoil | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
