Description: | A Late Medieval copper alloy mount possibly from a sword belt. The body is hollow-backed oval boy with a rivet-hole through a collared circular lobbed terminal. The hole appears to have the rivet still in position. The body is decorated with four raised bands, one of which also has a rivet hole in the centre. There is a
larger circular terminal at the other end with a recessed plate pierced with an irregular perforation. There is a further perforated circular knop to the side of the circular terminal. the mount is 46.6mm long, 13.3mm wide, 4.3mm wide and weighs There is an almost identical example illustrated in Margeson (1993), fig.22, no.262. Margeson suggests that the irregular shaped perforation is "a key shaped hole for a engaging a button or boss on a corresponding plate" (1993 p 38). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Jackson, Jennifer - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
