Description: | Copper alloy mount. This mount is domed and, circular in plan and semicircular in section. The reverse is concave. Extending from the centre of the reverse is an integral, pointed lug that is missing its very tip. The object is abraded and little of the original surface survives, so it is impossible to tell if there was any decoration. Where it does survive, the original surface is mid green. Otherwise the surface is bright green with corrosion, as is most of the reverse. It has a diameter of 17.38mm and weighs 1.21g. This mount is 15th or 16th century in dates. Similar mounts can be seen in Read, 2001, numbers 223-235. | 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: | 1400
