Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is asymmetrical, terminating in a trefoil head. Below this the decoration consists of raised ribs which appear like fronds. The end opposite has suffered from abrasion, as has the lug on the reverse of the trefoil which has suffered an old break. Further old damage is evident below the trefoil where the mount has been bent such that the trefoil-shaped element is now at approximately forty-five degrees to the horizontal. In both form and dimension the object is similar to mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 34; ex. fig. 285) which are dated to around the seventeenth century. | 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
