Description: | Post Medieval (17th century) cast copper alloy decorative openwork mount or terminal. The mount is quatrefoil, with a central hole, possibly for attachment. Two of the arms are oval, with projections on their outer edges, and an openwork 'tear drop' shape. The remaining two arms are rectangular, one has two knops to either side before a worn break, while the opposing arm has no decoration, is slightly thicker and has a worn break. The upper surface has incised decoration, in the form of two parallel lines around the openwork, and a further two pairs of lines along the length of the artefact. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The original surface of the metal is missing, exposing a reddish-brown colour with patches of mid-green. It is 29.01mm long, 33.7mm wide, 2.24mm thick and weighs 4.3 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
