Description: | Post medieval copper alloy diamond-shaped openwork mount with attached leather. The mount measures 26.1mm by 18.0mm (internal measurement 10.4mm by 8.1mm), 6.2mm thick including the spikes and weighing 2.9g. The front is decorated with a row of beading in a recessed area running around the entire mount at the centre of each side. The attachment spikes on the reverse (at each point on the longer axis) are short, pointed and have been bent inwards to hold the leather. There is a small piece of the origonal leather still attached which is mid brown in colour. This was probably a strap mount and dates to the 16th or 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
