Description: | A cast copper alloy circular furniture mount with a decorated enamel face. The centre of the face has a slightly raised circular panel approx 6.5mm in diaemter. Around this is a 2mm border of enamel which appears to have been red, and then a raised border 1.5mm wide. Around this are 9 cells radiating out in a petal design, each 5mm long and 4.5mm wide at the base. These cells were filled with blue enamel, much of it surviving. Between these petals is the remains of more enamel of another colour, again probably red. Around the outside is a raised border 3mm wide moulded in a twisted rope design. The reverse face is plain, except for the remains of a central attachment point for the shank, which has now broken off. These enamelled furniture mounts are most common in the north of England and are dated to the late 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
