Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy mount of probable Post-Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 ? AD 1700). Length 18.0mm, width 9.0mm and 1.8mm thick. Weight 2.12g.
The mount is largely lozenge-shaped with an integral oval-shaped terminal at either end. However, one terminal is now missing. The break is old. The front is decorated with punched circles which cover the whole face. The rear face is plain and an integral spike is situated at the surviving terminal end. The spike tapers slightly and it is sub-rectangular in cross-section. Where it joins the plate it is 3.0mm x 1.4mm. The length of the surviving part of the spike is 5.1mm.
The mount is corroded and a mid to dark green patina partially survives on both faces. The metal is a reddish colour. | 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
