Description: | An incomplete cast in one copper-alloy probable mount. Rectangular in plan and triangular in cross-section this mount is hollow and measures 34mm in length, 13mm in width and 9mm in maximum height. There is one complete integral circular lobe with a circular hole through its centre projecting from one end of this mount, measuring 6mm in diameter. The remains of another opposing lobe at the other end of the mount can also be seen, it is fragmentary due to an old break.
No parallel could be found for this mount, its function, beyond being decorative is also unknown, it is of a similar shape to possible middle Anglo-Saxon pommels (see SF-D86662) however as it does not have a central perforation to accomodate a dagger tang it is unlikely to be a pommel. It is most likely to be medieval in date. | 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: | 1066
