Description: | A worn copper-alloy post-medieval mount with integral pointed lugs. Both reverse lugs are intact. One bends at an angle of around ninety degrees while the other is bent back towards the mount so that it is nearly touching it. The mount takes a common symmetrical form of three sub-circular elements. While the central element is plain the flanking elements to which the lugs are attached appear to take the shape of faces with clearly discernible features. Comparable examples - albeit undecorated - can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 28, 36). These are dated to approximately 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
