Description: | Copper alloy mount, probably a harness strap mount or fitting. The mount is sexfoil (flower) shaped and slightly domed. Each petal of the flower is well defined and decorated with two incised ring and dots. In the centre of the reverse there was an iron rivet to attach the mount to a strap or harness. The mount weighs 5.69g and measures 27.93mm in diameter. There are similar parallels for sexfoil mount in Dress Accessories, pages 186-193 although none of these have such well defined petals. | 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
