Description: | A copper alloy medieval mount, or possible buckle frame. It is rectangular, with a cut-out pelta shape in one short side forming two recurved terminals. In the corners above the terminals are single rivets, and there are two rivet holes , one in each of the opposite corners. The mount is divided into three sections of equal width by two raised ridges which run the length of the piece. The central zone thus created is decorated by fine incised line cross-hatching . The two outer zones have lozenge-shaped cross-hatching. The surface has traces of a black coating (probably silver). The under-side of the mount is plain. It is 40.17mm and 34.20mm wide, weighing 8.84g It is possible that this may have been a buckle frame, and an example from Winchester with similar decoration dates to the late thirteenth to fourteenth centuries. | 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: | 1300
