Description: | Copper-alloy mount of probable medieval date. Possible harness or belt mount. No exact parallels found. Piece consists of a sub-square plate measuring 21mm, by 20.4mm in area, and 1.1mm thick. There are concave indentations on each corner which would appear to represent damaged attachment holes. There are also traces of gilding to the plate. The upper surface has an attachment in the form of a wire cross with a circular knob, 6.4mm wide, in the centre. The reverse of the plate has a rivet visible towards the centre and indicates how the two elements are joined. The total thickness of the mount is 7.3mm. Weight = 4.59g. | 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: | 1200
