Description: | A complete lead mount, tag or attachment of Post-Medieval to Modern date. It is flat, rectangular in shape and section, and measures 46.73mm in width, 26.68mm in height, 3.69mm in thickness, and weighs 37.60g. At the top left hand corner of the object is a circular hole with bevelled edge, and in the middle at the top of the mount is a second perforation that is sub-oval in shape an appears to be the result of damage during use. The mount has the name or word 'JENNETING' unevenly and transversely stamped into the front face. The word 'jenneting' refers to a variety of early apple and it therefore seems likely that this mount or tag may have served to mark trees in an orchard/market garden, produce, or indeed have been used in a walled or ornamental garden. The style of the lettering suggests a Post-Medieval to Modern date for this example, probably in the 17th-20th centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
