Description: | A cast copper alloy mount or similar decorative ornament.
The mount is flat and circular with an impressed design on the front surface. The reverse is undecorated but has a raised rim around the edge. The design on the front comprises five openwork heart motifs with trefoils inside each heart. There is a large pellet in the centre of the design.
There is not obvious way to attach this mount, but part of the rim has been broken.
The metal is a light greyish-green colour. The metal is pitted and corroded.
The mount must date to the 16th century or later, so is therefore post-medieval 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: | 1550
