Description: | Cast copper alloy mount with integral pointed lugs. This mount is circular in plan and semicircular in section. It has a diameter of 18.16mm and weighs 3.36g.It is decorated with three moulded raised lines that rise above each other so that the profile of the mount is ?stepped?. Where each step occurs, there is a circular band of punched dots. At the centre of the mount is a globular knop with a central drilled dot at its middle, which has a similar band of punched dots around its circumference. The reverse of the mount is concave. The integral lugs are pointed and now curl in towards the centre of the reverse. The over all patina of the mount is an even mid green. A similar, though not identical mount, can be found in Read, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, figure 18, number 266. Based on this example, the mount probably dates to the 17th century. | 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: | 1600
