Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval mount. The shield-shaped mount was probably originally flat but now is slightly convex and the sides are now folded around the back. The mount has an integral projecting terminal, which tapers to a point and may be incomplete. In the centre of the mount is a long copper-alloy rivet with a hook on the end. The mount is decorated with four horizontal ribs and is covered with traces of gilding. The length is 36.2mm, the width is 11.2mm and the weight is 3.99g. The exact function of the mount is unknown, but it is likely to be either a casket or harness mount. | 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: | 1200
