Description: | A cast copper alloy mount. The mount appears to date to the 8th Century and is therefore Anglo-Saxon in origin. The mount consists of a flat sub-rectangular plate, with a long but thin attachment spike projecting from the reverse. This projection is badly corrode and worn. One of the corners of the plate has been slightly damaged.
The front part of the plate depicts a floral design in relief ? typically of the mid Anglo-Saxon period. The design may have been chip carved onto the surface or it could have been cast integrally with the original casting process.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour. | 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: | 700
