Description: | An Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper alloy mount (AD410-1066). The mount is flat and triangular with two perforations, one in each corner along the long lower edge. The ends are blunted rather than forming a point. One corner of the mount has broken off, probably in antiquity as another perforation has been drilled through the decoration. The remains of an iron rivet are still present in the perforation. The front surface is engraved with a symmetrical pattern (symmetrical down the vertical midline). The pattern comprises a curved ?C? shaped line with the ends curling in on themselves. The pattern is then repeated through a series of grooves and ridges. The reverse is undecorated. Dark green patina.
Dimensions: length 32.62mm; width 15.03mm narrowing to 5.05mm; thickness 2.46mm; weight 2.02g. | 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: | 410
