Description: | Medieval copper alloy sheet mount. The mount is hexagonal and domed with the dome divided into six facets; the facet angles meet the edge roughly at the centre of the sides rather than corners. The back is concave and there is a seperate circular copper alloy rivet through one corner and a hole for a secondin the opposing corner. It is 20.2mm in diameter, 5.5mm thick (the sheet it is made from is 0.6mm thick)and it weighs 1.45 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1993) illustrate similar mounts e.g. No.961 page 187, Fig 119, which they suggest were in common use by the mid 14th century and continued to be popular until the end of the next century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
