Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy square pyramidal belt mount with separate (missing) rivet. A tiny fleck of gilding survives. Almost all original patina is missing.
The mount measures 21.7x21.6mm and stands 6.3mm high. The sheet metal is 0.7mm thick and the central piercing for the rivet is 2.9mm in diameter. The object weighs 2.72g.
There is a slight flange at the base of the pyramid c.2mm wide. This is bent at one corner, and missing along one side.
Similar pyramidal mounts in Egan & Pritchard (1991) date from the mid-12th to the mid-14th century. The missing rivet would have held the mount to the belt. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
