Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy mount probably of medieval date. The object is sub-rectangular in shape with rounded corners at one end and an old break at the other. The long edges are slightly bevelled giving the artefact a flat trapezoidal cross-section. In one corner it is perforated, presumably for mounting. At the short end are V-shaped grooves with the triangle expanding towards the edge. There is a transverse incision overcutting these grooves before their points. Within the main field on the upper face are two-and-a-half punched rings with central circular punch; one is located at the point of break. Flanking these rings longitudinally appears to be a row of diagonal impressions on either side. The metal is an orange brown with dusty mid/dark green corrosion products overlying in places. | 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: | 1300
