Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy rectangular mount with gilding on both sides, dating from the 12th-15th century AD (length: 39.2mm; width: 19.1mm; thickness: 0.8mm; weight: 2.13g). All four corner rivet holes are still present, although only one is still complete (diameter: 3mm) and the others are broken. There are no rivets remaining. There is no other additional decoration on the mount and the artefact is in a worn and corroded condition with a light green patina, mostly due to the presence of bronze disease. There are similar rectangular/ square mounts illustrated in Egan & Pritchard?s ?Dress Accessories c. 1150 ? c. 1450? 2002, pages 195-197. | 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: | 1100
