Description: | A complete copper-alloy looped mount, dating to the 17th century AD (length: 42mm; width: 13.8mm; thickness at loop: 7.9mm; diameter of pendant ring: 11.8mm; weight: 5.52g). A sub-triangular mount with a slight concavity at one end. There are the remains of two iron rivets. Within the loop a worn (?well-used) ring is set (and from which other items could have been suspended). In a worn but fair condition with a dark green patina. Similar examples are illustrated in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity', 2001, pages 30, 39 & 42, particularly ref no 363, which was found in East Devon. | 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
