Description: | Early medieval gilded copper alloy mount, dating from 700-900 AD.
The mount is rectangular at one end and tapers to a rounded end at the other. The decoration on the object consists of a symmetrical twisted strand within two concentric lines.
The reverse of the object has a large patch of iron corrosion at the thicker end and a smaller lump of corrosion at the tapered end. These presumably represent rivets that would have secured the mount.
Length: 30.44mm; width: 9.94mm; thickness: 1.82mm; weight: 3.54g. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Gill, Elizabeth | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
