Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment, probably part of a mount or finial.
The item is square in plan with a flat base and four sides which slope inwards as on a pyramid. The top is rough and appears to have been broken off through an old break. There is also a slight dip in the centre of the base with iron staining around it where something has also been lost from an old break. It is 18.1mm wide by 18.5mm long by 7.8mm thick and weighs 8.1 grams.
This is not a pyramidal mount as found on early medieval sword fittings as those are hollow with a bar for attachment across the base. It is probably part of a complex mount or finial such as DENO-FEA163 and probably medieval or post medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
