Description: | Cast copper alloy mount of probable medieval or post medieval date. The mount is sub oval in plan and domed in section (D-shaped). It measures 29.5mm length, 11mm maximum width and is 4mm thick. It weighs 3.02 grams. The mount has been abraded and rolled in the plough soil causing it to become slightly a symmetrical in plan. It is also heavily corroded with large patches of cratering and pocking visible on the decorated surface.
The upper surface of the mount is decorated with a double continuous band of cast raised dots, which creates a boarder around the edge of the mount. These two rows are approximately 1.5mm apart. The centre or central panel of the mount is plain. The decoration has almost been obliterated by the corrosion.
The reverse of the mount is hollow with one central pin. This pin is bent over at an angle of 90 degrees and is approximately 11mm long and 2mm wide. It is sub-rectangular in section and is pointed at the end. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Peter Reavill | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
