Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval mount of pyramidal form. The object is square in plan. Within a flat border it rises on four sides to a height of 7.2mm. The border is decorated with punched annulets. The sides of the pyramid are plain but retain large areas of gilt. There is a central perforation at the top of the pyramid; the rivet survives in situ (L.: 12.25mm). The rivet is seemingly plain and has a flattened biconical head. A similar mount has been recorded on this database, ref. BERK-38B976. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
