Description: | An incomplete scallop shell mount with inward curving spikes on the reverse as a of attachment, suggesting an early medieval date. The 'point' of the shell (as opposed to the fan) is expanded, and there are 3 moulded transverse ridges across this part of the object. There is some gilding left in the depressions caused by both the transverse moulding and the moulded rayed lines representing the shell. The reverse is flat and the object solid. | 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
