Description: | Copper alloy circular, domed mount with two integral rivets. The mount is decorated with three concentric rings of different thickness and a central boss. Slightly distorted. Diameter 32mm, height of domed mount c.7mm, weight 9.5 grams. Mounts like this example were attached to leather straps or textiles and would have been mainly decorative in function. Dating them is difficult, some mounts of this type were in use as early as the thirteenth century; however, this example is likely to be significantly later and possibly dates to the sixteenth or seventeenth century. | 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: | 1500
