Description: | A small, worn cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The mount is sub-triangular in form (it looks somewhat like a fly), with a small circular boss at the end at which the triangle tapers. At the other end is another protrusion with rounded end; this latter features a circular perforation for an iron rivet - the orange, corroded traces of the rivet survive in the hole. The mount is decorated unifacially with circular and scrolled foliate motifs. It is perhaps of the same ilk as a pair of mounts illustrated in Read (2001, 30, 41; refs. 349, 350), which in their turn have been compared with post-medieval sword belt fittings on account of their foliate decoration. | 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
