Description: | 16th century flat copper alloy mount with integral suspension loops and separate rivets, probably from a sword belt. The mount is asymmetrical with a circular loop protruding from one side. The mount has an open work design and is made up of three main elements; at the top there is a bar with an iron rivet at the centre, below this is an open circular frame with three protruding points on each side and a small rivet hole below, and below this is an open rectangle (with the protruding lateral circular suspension loop coming from this). A very similar parallel for this object can be seen in Brian Read?s Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, Fig. 26, No.371. The mount measures 45mm in length, 21mm in width and 3mm in thickness. | 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
