Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy decorative mount, it is now bent over and corroded but would have originally been lozenge shaped. It measures 37mm in length and 17mm in width. At the tip of the two surviving terminals of the lozenge there are rounded projecting knops. The front face is decorated with an incised cross with incised boarder grooves around its edge, traces of possible gilding can also be seen. The back face is undecorated. The copper-alloy is brown in colour with patches of active powdery light green corrosion. This mount is most likely to be medieval in date but no parallel could be found for it. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
