Description: | Complete, cast copper alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is heart shaped in plan with a Fleur de lis extension on the same plane. It is slightly domed in section with a concave reverse to the heart and a flat reverse to the lis. The Fleur de lis is solid, with subcircular indentations rather than a piercing to differentiate the plumes from the central stalk. To the reverse of the mount are two, pointed integral lugs, now bent. The original surface of the object only partially survives with a dark green patina. Otherwise exposed surfaces are brown, mustard and light green in colour. The mount is 35.78mm long, 20.42mm wide, 3.03mm thick and weighs 6.37g. A variety of post-medieval mounts are illustrated in Read, 2001, Metal artefacts of antiquity, pages 35-36. | 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: | 1600
