Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, with traces of gilding (c. 2%). The mount is shaped like a narrow shield, with a central protrusion from the top shaped like plumes or ostrich feathers, and a central knop at the base. The reverse has two integral spikes, set one above the other, which are both bent over. The obverse is decorated with floral designs, set within a single line border. The surface is light greyish-green and rough-textured. This mount is likely to have been affixed to thick leather (7-8mm thick), and may have been part of a heavy belt or horse harness. This probably dates to the 17th century. | 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: | 1550
