Description: | A sheet copper alloy mount of Medieval date. It is flat, rectangular in shape and has been slightly bent due to post-depositional damage. The front face has incised decoration and small circular rivet holes at either end. The decoration consists of an incised border within which is outlined a lombardic lower case letter D with flicked or curved tail at the top of the letter. Around the letter, but within the border, the field is filled with incised rocker decoration. The back face of the plate is flat and undecorated. It measures 35.09mm in length, 15.17mm in width, 0.90mm in thickness, and weighs 2.33g.
This is a rectangular belt or strap mount of Medieval date. A near identical example with a similar letter D or P on the front face is noted from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1050). This suggests a 14th century AD date of c.1350-1400 for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
