Description: | A highly cupric fitting with 3 distinct cast-in-one-piece panels gradually tapering in size; when orienting the mount widest part to the top, the first panel is an oval with pointed ends on a transverse alignment, so that the oval appears to be laying on its side; the second panel is a round ended oval with a large central aperture which is very slightly countersunk; the final panel is heart shaped - the point facing downwards. The reverse of each panel is concave forming a slight 'lip' around the reverse perimeter. The point of the heart and has an integrally cast flattened spike projecting from it, as does the opposite end of the mount, both spikes are broken, and the ends missing. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
