Description: | A cast copper alloy mount or similar decorative ornament.
The mount has been formed from a rectangular plate of copper alloy with a central umbonate feature in the centre, which is hollow on the reverse.
Each corner of the plate houses a rivet hole, three are empty; one still contains the copper alloy rivet. Traces of gilding survive around the rivet.
The reverse is undecorated.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour. The metal is pitted and corroded and the entire original surface has been lost.
The mount must date to the 17th 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: | 1600
