Description: | Sheet copper alloy fragment of a mount engraved with floral decoration consisting of foliate, fleurets, leaves and circles. The mount is shaped like a fleur de lis in plan, with a trefoil upper edge, two convex sides or ogees and two broken projecting terminals at the base.
Bailey (2004) illustrates buttons with similar incised patterns: one example on page 54, Fig.9, No.109, which is dated to the 18th century.
Read (1988) illustrates a similar style of mount being used as a keyhole escutcheon on page 203, No.1415, which is dated to the 18th century. | 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: | 1700
