Description: | A cast copper alloy mount.
The mount is circular and shaped like a flower, with six equally sized wedged forming the petals. The mount is slightly doomed. Incised lines mark out each wedge.
The reverse of the mount is concave and undecorated. Cast integrally to the mount there are two small stumps of copper alloy. These are badly damaged and worn. These would have formed the method of attachment and 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 mid reddish-brown colour. The mount is 17th ? 18th 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: | 1600
