Description: | A cast copper alloy mount.
The mount is rounded and slightly doomed. Roughly in the centre on the front surface of the mount there is an incised circle. Radiating out from this point is a series of spiral moulded lines (possibly with traces of gilding surviving in the grooves).
The reverse of the mount is concave and undecorated. Cast integrally to the mount there are two large heavily-duty attachment lugs, one on either side of the mount. In the centre of each lug there is an iron rod (now heavily corroded). These would have held the mount onto either wood or leather.
There is corrosion on both sides and the mount appears to be complete apart from the broken attachment lugs. The surface of the object is pitted. It is a dark brownish-green colour. The mount is 16th ? 17th century in date. | 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
