Description: | Iron age copper alloy circular mount, 17mm in diameter, 5mm thick with a weight of 6.38 grams. The mount is in good condition and has a green patina on the surface but its underside is rusted and appears to be made from iron.
The object consists of a rounded, doughnut like border 4mm wide which has a D shaped section. The circle within this is divided into four areas, three being made up from leaf (or lentoid)shaped motifs which are raised and rounded so they resemble the underside of a boat. The motifs are arranged around the edge of the circle, leaving a triangular shaped flat central area. The reverse which appears to be made of iron, has two circular bumps which ay be the remains of a fixing bar or rivets. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wendy Scott | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
