Only the upper surface of the mount is gilded. This surface is decorated with a chip carved Style I motif of a man flanked by two beasts. A similar examples of this motif is known from Richborough in Kent. The underside of the mount is plain and possesses two circular section attachment rivets.

With rivets it has a thickness of 3mm. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
