Description: | The mount made of two seperate components, the head and the stud. Both the head and stud have a well developed mid-dark green patina.
The head is rectangular in plan and measures 24.9mm by 10.4mm, with a depth of 5mm. The head appears to have been cut/broken in half, as three edges on the upper surface are tapering towards the edge. The side of the fourth edge, which is a long edge has obliquely angled file marks. In the centre of the cut/broken edge on the upper surface the head of the stud is visible. The stud has been hammered so it is flush with the surface of the head. The underneath ofthe head is slightly hollow by the centre of the cut/broken edge, and is is here where the stud protrudes by 7mm.
The stud is circular in section and in profile leans to one side slightly. It is not integral to the mount head. The terminal of the stud maybe a broken edge as the patina does not cover it, but it is quite flat with slightly rounded edges.
A comparison cannot be found, but presumably it dates to the Roman or Medieval periods. | 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
