Description: | Cast copper alloy mount fragment. The fragment is rectangular with a slightly expanded trapizoid terminal at the complete end stepped out from the rest of the mount. In cross section the mount is curved with a convex front and concave back. At the complete end are the stubs of two integral rivets. The other end has an old break. The front is decorated with a raised interlace design. It is 28.6mm long, 21.1mm wide and 2.7mm thick (excluding the rivet studs); it weighs 6.81 grams.
While the fragment is too small to readily identify what it was mounted onto the style of interlace suggests a 11th or 12th century date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
