Description: | Cast copper alloy mount probably of Post Medieval date (1500-1700 AD). The mount has a fleur de lis at the top on a tapering neck, below this are two arms curving out and upwards, complementing the downward curve of the outer petals of the fleur de lis, below the arms the mount thickens with two raised collars below which is an oval section finished with a projecting lobed terminal with one raised collar. The front is slightly convex and the back concave. On the back are two spikes which could be pushed though holes in leather and then bent flat to hold the mount in place. One is complete, though worn, but only a stump remains of the other.
It is 36.1mm long, 22.9mm wide, 3.3mm thick excluding the attachment spikes, 7.1mm thick including, and weighs 5.27 grams. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
