Description: | Possible mount of probable medieval date. Rounded and slightly oval, 35 x 38 mm, it is 1-2 mm thick and very slightly curved or bent. In the centre is a neat circular hole, 5 mm in diameter, surrounded by a raised collar, now a bit squashed but still 5 mm max tall, which may originally have been the setting for a jewel. Around this was a zone of stamped decoration and then a groove, now mostly obscured by corrosion. Then there is an undecorated zone, then an outer border of stamped circles between a pair of grooves; this is interrupted by a broken circular hole, perhaps 2-3 mm in diameter. Traces of gilding survive. The underside (the concave face) is undecorated and ungilded. The object has corroded to a dark red colour. | 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: | 1066
