Description: | Post medieval mount; cast copper alloy decorative strap fitting probably dating to the period c 1500-1650. The mount is sub-rectangular in shape with a roughly convex cross-section. It has a strip running along the centre of the mount, with moulded decoration on either side, forming a symmetrical pattern. The pattern seems to consist of a double lobe shape, then a saltire cross formed of two long wedges, then two more wedges. The back face of the mount has a concave indent running along it. There is an attachment lug in the centre at either end, one of which is now broken off. The whole has a rough, dull green patina over its surface.
Length 21.7mm, width 13.1mm, thickness 12.9mm, weight 7.08g
Compare the find recorded as LEIC-71E530 for an example of another mount of similar date and form (although different decoration). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rohde, Anja | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
