A Medieval box-mount made of thin sheet metal. It tapers to a rounded end and has three apertures, two at the widest point and one at the narrow end. At the broken end are two tongues which would have curled round a pin to form a hinge.
The box-mount is made of silver and dates from the fourteenth century.

Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Barton, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
