Description: | A corroded copper-alloy mount of probable 13th or 14th century AD date. No exact parallel could be found for this piece but its general form suggests it may be a casket mount.
At the bottom is a rectangular plate, which has been pierced with at least two (possibly three) rivet holes. An elongated sub-rectangular protrusion extends upwards from the rectangular plate. It narrows towards the (possibly broken) tip and contains two small copper-alloy rivets.
The object measures 44mm high, 14.6mm wide, and 5.4mm thick. It weighs 5.4g. The surface retains traces of silver but no other form of decoration is visible. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
