Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy mount, which features a raised human face.
The mount has a concave reverse and a high relief, moulded front. The face has pointed-oval eyes, rounded cheeks, a long, slender triangular nose and a beard, formed from incised marks. Three rivet holes survive on the piece. Two on the beard and one above one eye; the opposite side may also have had a rivet hole, but this part of the mount has broken off.
The metal is a mid reddish-green colour and it is pitted.
This object is probably late medieval to early post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
