Description: | A decorative cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-triangular, with a short edge formed of two incurving lines and cusped longer edges. The artefact is flat, with decoration moulded in low relief. The decoration is longitudinally symmetrical of interlacing foliate scrolls. On the lower face is a pair of inturned pointed lugs characterictic of the 17th-century. The mount has been bent upwards at the terminal. The metal has turned a red-brown colour, with corrosion product on the lower face and a shinier upper surface, presumably due to recent polishing. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
