Description: | Cast copper alloy, post-medieval mount. This mount is lozenge shaped in plan. It is 25.5mm long, 17.64mm wide and weighs 2.66g. It is decorated across the entire surface with raised circles, mostly worn down or damaged. A slight trace of gilding survives on the surface of the mount and to the edges, otherwise it has a light green patina with patches of orangey corrosion product, mostly to the front. The reverse of the mount is slightly concave, plain with tiny traces of gilding at the edges and has a patchy patina of dark green with light green and bright green where it is abraded. There are two, pointed, tapering integrally cast lugs that are now truncated and worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. A parallel with slightly different decoration can be found in Read, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, page 34, number 284 and in record ESS-F8BFC3. | 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
