Description: | The mount is heavily abraded and a small fragment has broken from the main body. The centre of the mount has a high-relief circular ring. Within this ring the surface is abraded and incomplete. The exterior of the ring is decorated with an interlace chip-carved design, which is bordered by another high-relief ring. The exterior of the second ring has a more fine styled decoration consisting of at least two circles, one with an iron rivet remaining in the centre. The decoration in the field of this section is unclear and much is missing. There is traces of gilding on this surface. The reverse is undecorated. There are traces of the iron rivet. The mount is not quite flat, it is slightly distorted, which may not be intentional. | 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: | 800
