Description: | MED Distorted & slightly abraded fragment of furniture fitting: strap mount from chest or casket. One end, lozengiform lobe with hollow underside (12 x 7.5mm), is probably original. It is pierced by a circular hole. From this springs a narrow (2mm) bar of rounded section, at the other end of which is an incomplete ovoid or lozengiform unpierced lobe, also with hollow underside. Total surviving length 38mm. This is close to 12th & 13th-cent. mounts from Castle Acre Castle (Goodall 1982, fig.43 nos13 & 14) & London (Medieval Household no.141). However the bar of this example does not have the normal D-section. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
