Description: | A worn and scratched copper-alloy sexfoil mount probably dating to the medieval period. Domed and made from sheet metal, this mount is sexfoil in shape, the faces marked out by grooves on the obverse. The shape appears to have been stamped out, the perimeter having subsequently lost its integrity in places. The button-like pellet in the centre of the dome is perhaps indicative of an unfinished example, as with a mount illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 189; ref. 1004) which also lacks a rivet hole. An almost identical mount found close by has also been recorded on this database, ref. NARC-0C8CB5. | 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: | 1350
