Description: | A worn, corroded but almost complete cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is lozengiform with one corner truncated by a bent circular suspension loop. The main field is quatrilobate with triangular projections between the semicircles, much like a medieval harness pendant. One of the semicircles terminates in a circular knops; the other two have suffered breaks. The field is decorated with an intertwined lozenge and quatrefoil incised in low relief. In the centre is a circular perforation which retains the remnants of a corroded iron rivet. The mount is slightly convex in profile. Parallels bearing identical decoration include examples from Devon (Read 1995, 113; ref. 714) and the Isle of Wight (this database: " IOW-77DB28 ), the latter showing how the object would function with a suspension mount. A further example was recovered from the same field: " HAMP-685195 . | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
