Description: | Fragment of a sheet copper-alloy mount or fitting. The object has a flat base and what appears to be an undulating top. A band of opposing incised chevrons decorate the perimeter of the fitting. Above the base line, a band of opposing chevrons are incised horizontally in a wavy fashion, itself being enclosed above by another horizontal band of chevrons. Within each peak and trough created by the wavey decoration is a line of 6 opposing chevrons. Just inside the broken left hand side, the start of a triangular pattern is visible. On the top left hand side of the object there is a crescent shaped piercing, presumably for attachment by means of riveting to another object. The back is undecorated and shows signs of iron staining. The fitting is very thin. The decoration dates the object to the medieval period. A very similar mount can be seen at LIN-ABB4E3. | 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
