Description: | Copper-alloy domed sexfoil belt (?) mount of probable middle to late medieval date. The design of the piece is simple, with the edge having been cut into six rounded petals (two of which are now damaged). The edges of these petals run inwards to a point at the centre of the mount. There are two opposing holes, each measuring approximately 1.3mm in diameter. One of the holes contains remnants of a copper-alloy rivet. The mount is only 0.3mm thick, suggesting that the design was cut from sheet metal and hammered into a domed shape by placing it over a former.
Measures 17.1mm diameter. Weight = 0.85g. | 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: | 1350
