Description: | Openwork mount, probably from chest or casket, or from a horses harness. The mount is roughly triangular, D-shaped in cross-section and openwork. The decoration consists of a central tree or flower motif with six branches; the lower pair have downward curving tapering terminals, the central pair have upward curving 'bud-like' circular terminals, and the upper pair have upward pointing trefoil 'flower-like' terminals. There is a moulded half-rounded knop at the apex of the frame. The frame is decorated with notches between the lower and central branches.
There are three incomplete lugs on the reverse for attachment. The lugs are rectangular in cross-section. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
