Description: | Post medieval mount; cast copper alloy mount of probable late 17th or early 18th century date. The mount is a flat, lozenge shape, consisting of an ornamented, openwork frame with four struts which connect the outer frame to an inner plate. The inner plate is almost entirely taken up with a raised, diamond-shaped, pyramidal central boss. The ornamentation of the outer edge of the mount is such that there are trilobed terminals at each of the corners of the mount, as well as similar shaped projections in the centre of each of the sides. The ornamentation of the inner edge of frame, together with the struts, has produced four lys-shaped holes around the central boss. The back of the frame has integral cast fixing-spurs at each of the corners of the mount. The spurs are all bent inwards. The whole has an even, thick, grey-green patina over its surface.
Length 51.5mm, width 41.0mm, thickness (inc fixings) 6.7mm, thickness (centre of plate) 5.4mm, weight 11.39g | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
