Description: | A decorative cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is flat, longitudinally symmetrical but otherwise asymmetrical. On the lower face is a pair of outurned lugs. The upper face is decorated with terminal knops at both of the narrow ends; one of these knops takes the form of an acorn. The main field has a raised border with beaded border within. Within the border is a central motif surrounded by floriate designs. Small traces of gilding survive on the upper surface. A mount of similar form can be found illustrated in Read (2001, 35; ref. 293). | 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: | 1600
