Description: | A small, worn cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-triangular in form (it looks somewhat like a fly), with a small circular boss at the end at which the triangle tapers. At the other end is another protrusion with rounded end; this latter features a circular perforation for an iron rivet - the orange, corroded traces of the rivet survive in the hole. The mount is decorated unifacially with circular and scrolled foliate motifs. It is perhaps of the same ilk as a pair of mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 30, 41; refs. 349, 350), which in their turn have beem compared with post-medieval sword belt fittings on account of their foliate decoration. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
