Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy medieval circa 14th century mount, 27.8mm in length and 18.1mm in width. Less than half of this mount survives, the rest is missing due to old breaks. It would have been circular in shape originally and circa 30mm in diameter, the front face is domed and the back face concave. The front face has shaped lobes and it seems that originally there would have been 10 or more seperate lobes, this is therefore an example of a multifoil mount. In the centre of the back face there is a raised circular area through which a central rivet could have orignally have passed to attach this mount to a strap or belt. | 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
