Description: | A Post Medieval incomplete bone mount (c.16th ?? 17th century). The mount has a D-shaped cross-section, one end is finished, and the other end is broken. It has been lathe turned to create bead and reel decoration. The D-shaped cross-section suggests it was possibly lathe-turned as a solid cylinder and then halved to form the D-shaped cross-section. There is irregular cross-hatching carved on the reverse and a rivet hole near the broken end. The cross-hatching may have been designed as ??keying?? to provide grip to adhesive to help the rivet secure the mount to the box or casket it may have originally decorated.
Dimensions: length: 60.26mm; width: 12.27mm; thickness: 8.54mm; weight: 6.95g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Sumnall, Kate - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
