Description: | A cast, highly ornate, Post-Medieval copper alloy mount (1500-1650). The mount has an openwork design, and is broadly pelta-shaped, with a small knop at the top. Two moulded lines radiate out from this and follow the profile of the mount around the edges and then curve inwards approximately half-way down the mount, to meet an anthropomorphic mask in the centre. Either side of the mask the mount is decorated with mouldings and small pellets. A second set of mouldings radiate downwards and curve inwards and upwards toward the bottom, to meet the mask. The bottom of the mount is decorated with a semi-circle which has six lines incised into it which fan out towards the margin. There are two integral bent over spikes on the reverse, one of which is broken near the 'junction with the mount'. Light green patina. | 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: | 1500
