Description: | Copper alloy mount in the form of a cross crosslet. The outside edges of the mount are bevelled and form a rim around the reverse. The arrangement of the arms of the cross is such that four openwork squares are formed. The upper surface has a beaded border and traces of white metal coating. The mount would originally have been flat but two of the arms are now bent upwards making the it generally concave. The reverse is flat and hollow and bears the raised impressions of the upper surface border. At the centre of the reverse is a circular scar, presumably from the attachment mechanism, which has traces of iron corrosion. Mid-dark green patina. | 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: | 1400
