Description: | Post-medieval copper-alloy mount. An ornate mount, probably from a 16th C. AD sword belt. The object has a flat underside and only slightly raised decoration on the upper surface. The bottom edge of the piece is comprised of a rectangular section, which measures 15.5mm long and has a single decorative notche on each of its vertical sides. Originally it probably had a further rectangular frame attached below but this is missing. The central section of the piece is sub-circular, with a central hole 4.4mm in diameter and decorative notches around its outer edge. The top of the piece is finished off with double transverse ridges and, above this, a rounded terminal. There are traces of an iron rivet just below the circular hole. The overall dimensions of the object are 30.6mm high by 15.5mm wide and 2mm thick. The weight is 3.62g. | 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: | 1500
