Description: | A copper alloy mount, possibly late early medieval or early later medieval (conquest period).
The object is probably a box or furniture mount. It consists of a roughly rectangular piece of copper alloy with two straight-ish sides and two sides that have been broken off from the rest of the object now missing.
The decoration on the mount consists of irregularly shaped holes surrounded by incised lines. The decoration is difficult to decipher as the surface preservation is not good.
The reverse of the object is flat and undecorated. There is one small circular iron rivet remaining in the apex of the two un-broken sides.
Length: 31.98mm; width: 24.34mm; thickness: 3.45mm; weight: 8.66g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Gill, Elizabeth | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
