Description: | Worn and corroded copper alloy mount. The mount is square in plan with rounded corners and is slightly domed in section. The face of the mount is decorated with a grooved cross, with a small, raised square tight in each angle, and a central raised dot. the reverse of the mount is concave. Only a tiny fraction of the integral shaft (about 1mm) remains. The surface of the mount is heavily corroded with orange coloured corrosion product, but some original surface survives with a dark brown patina. The shaft break edge is worn smooth, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. An integral shaft is indicative of a post-medieval date. The mount is 14.3mm wide, 14.5mm long, 4.16mm thick and weighs 1.60g. | 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
