Description: | A cast copper-alloy asymmetrical openwork mount of probable Post-Medieval date. It is flat and rectangular in section. At one end the mount is sub-rectangular in shape with a sub-rectangular perforation, above which the sides of the mount project horizontally. There is a small rectangular terminal at this end of the mount that projects backwards and has extensive iron corrosion. Beneath the rectangular perforation the mount constricts to a narrow waist below which there is a trefoil or fleur-de-lis shaped terminal. A single circular rivet hole is visible in the centre of the trefoil terminal, with a corresponding perforation containing a short section of an incomplete iron rivet at the opposite end of the mount beneath the projecting terminal. The entire object measures 23.90mm in length, 12.48mm in width, 1.14mm in thickness, and weighs 0.93g. Similar openwork mounts are noted on the PAS database (see for example DENO-E2EF34, LEIC-04E295 or LEIC-149B66) and date to the Post-Medieval period of the 16th to 17th centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
