Description: | Copper alloy and iron object which may possibly be the damaged remains of a mount, of the type Allason-Jones calls 'bell-shaped'. The copper-alloy part consists of the remains of a wide dished area with a central projecting boss. On the reverse is a mass of iron corrosion. Beyond this, a large rounded copper-alloy projection extends, which is unusual for one of these mounts; they normally have a slender pointed projection. These mounts have a variety of uses but are perhaps most common as either decorative or functional knobs from furniture. | 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: | 43
