Description: | A copper alloy sexfoil mount of Medieval date. It is made from a stamped sheet of copper alloy that is dome shaped, irregularly trimmed, and with scalloped outer edges in the form of six petals. The surfaces are slightly faceted and with small v-shaped indentations between each petal to define more fully the shape of the sexfoil. Two small separate circular rivets are present on opposite sides of the mount. These are cyrlindrical in shape, with small rounded heads. The mount measures 18.82mm in diameter, 0.86mm in thickness, 5.62mm in height, and weighs 1g. A close parallel to this example can be noted from Medieval London dating to the 14th century AD (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 959), and similar examples are recorded on the PAS database from Suffolk dating to the 14th or 15th centuries AD (see for example SF-94BCF7, SF 1F84C2 and SF-834B64). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
