Description: | Incomplete copper alloy sheet mount or plate. The mount is roughtly square although all sides are damaged, from old damage, and could be broken and two corners are notched. It is 21.2mm long, 21.3mm wide, 0.9mm thick and weighs 1.5 grams.
The mount has a pair of in situ iron rivets 3.2mm from and parallel with one edge, these are very corroded but the remaining stumps are 2.2mm in diameter and 3.6mm long. By the opposte edge, midway along the side is a single rivet hole 2.5mm in diameter and with no rivet or iron staining. The mount is pale green in colour and heavily corroded and friable. It has traces of incised decoration which appears to form a curvilinear design with parrallel line shading.
Such plates were riveted on a variety of leather and wood objects including leather straps, books, harnesses and buckets for strenghening and decoration. The style of decoration suggests a date of 1500-1700. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
