Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable medieval date. A bar-shaped mount which has stylistic similarities to 14th century pendant suspenders. The piece has a central plate consisting of a flower design within a six pointed star. The two bars extend outwards either side of the central plate. Each has double vertical ridges, a rounded end containing a circular rivet hole, and a small projecting knob. The surface has been gilded. The reverse of the mount is flat and plain. The object is slightly corroded and has become bent. It measures 44.5mm long, by 15.2mm wide at the plate, and 2.4mm thick. It weighs 6.67g. | 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: | 1300
