Description: | A copper-alloy strap mount 31mm in length and 13mm in width at its widest point. It is lozenge-shaped for 20mm then one end of the lozenge-shape is incorporated into the base of a triangle-shape, which is 11mm in length.The front face is decorated with relief decoration involving a pattern of swirls, around the outside of both the lozenge and triangle shaped parts of the strap mount, these swirls both surround a raised rectangle. On the front face the remains of gilding are also visible. On the back face there is no decoration and the remains of two hooks survive. It is likely to be post-medieval in date, possibly 17th century as there is a similar mount of this date in Cuddeford (p39, No, 70) | 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: | 1540 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
