Description: | Post medieval gilded copper alloy mount. The mount is in the shape of a scallop shell, with a trefoil projection extending from the base of the shell, and three lobes of decreasing size extending from the top of the shell. The trefoil projection resembles two smaller scallop shells with four incised lines, the base of each of these smaller shells are attached to either side of an oval with five incised lines along its length. Grooves divide the mount plate into ten sections with rounded ends to imitate the shape of a real shell. The mount has a green patina with a copper-gold colour showing through in the recesses. The reverse of the mount is unknown, but is probably concave with two hooks used to attach the mount to a leather strap based upon comparisons to similar mounts, see examples NARC-6D5406 and SUSS-D95B43. | 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: | 1650
