Description: | Medieval cast copper alloy cruciform mount, probably of 14th or early 15th century date and originating from a casket, large book or similar. The mount has four arms with concave sides. Each arm ends in a trefoil terminal with a central perforation for attachment. At the centre, is a square base before a raised collar and a flat topped cone. The central boss is hollow and contains the remnants of a possible solder. The comparatively heavy design of the mount may suggest it originated from a casket. | 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: | 1300
