Description: | A cast copper alloy quatrefoil mount. The artefact is in fairly good condition. The surface is somewhat worn and corroded but retains some of its enamel and gilding, and the original design is clear. There is a narrow raised border around the edge; the background is blue. The centre is taken up by a large ??W?? monogram, in gilt. Red enamel fills the spaces between the elements of this W; there is another patch of gilt above the W. Two small rivets pierce the mount, their heads embedded in the face; on the reverse, the upper rivet still retains a small square washer. This artefact dates to the 13th to 15th centuries. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
