Description: | a copper alloy late Medieval or Post Medieval mount, in the shape of a stylised bird, probably an eagle. It is D-shaped in section, with an integral blunted rivet in the centre of the flat side. The upper surface has longitudinal grooves defining the outline of wings and tail, on which there are traces of gilding. The mount narrows slightly toward the shoulder, and has a neck and head turned at right angles, forming one terminal. The centre of the mount is slightly waisted, and the lower terminal is indented between the tail and the wing-tips. There is some gilding present on the underside, beyond a circular patch of corrosion surrounding the rivet. the mount measures 24.46mm in length and 10.11mm in width, narrowing to 8.65mm at the shoulder and 4.92mm at the head. It weighs 3.57g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
