Description: | A copper alloy probable mount, probably dating from the post medieval period. The mount is teardrop shaped with a projection shell like knop at the rounded end, and smaller projection lobes at the sides, one on each shoulder. The centre is open and there is a double grooved border. There is a rivet hole at each end of the central hole. The front is rounded and the reverse is flat. Traces of gilding are visible on both sides, particularly in the grooves. The object has a smooth grey green patina. The mount probably dates from the seventeenth century. It is also possible that it is a keyhole escutcheon or part of a strap end. Another mount with a similar general style is LEIC-04E295. This example is 37mm long, 18.9mm wide and 3.3mm thick. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
