Description: | Copper alloy mount, probably from a sword-belt consisting of a plate with a hook. At one end there is a hook which is quite flat at the junction with the plate then thickens to become D-shaped in section (Th. 2.2-3.7mm). The end of the hook is broken off. The plate is flat and expands from the junction with the hook before contracting again, forming rounded projections to either side (Th. 2.15mm). The plate then expands gradually before tapering again forming a broadly trapezoidal element. The plate then expands sharply again to form the trefoil terminal. There are two rivet holes in the plate, one in the centre at each end. The upper surface has scrolled foliate decoration. The reverse is flat and undecorated. | 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: | 1500
