Description: | Almost complete cast copper alloy post medieval mount. The mount is an elongated lozenge shape in plan with two circular terminals. It is flat in section. The object is very abraded, but the mount appears to be plain to the front and rear. To the rear are set the two integral shanks, flat in section. One is complete and tapers to a sharp point, but is now bent into a horizontal S shape. The opposite shank is truncated approximately half way along its length. The break edge is worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The original surface survives only in patches with a dull, dark green patina. Exposed surfaces are lighter green. There are patches of red corrosion product. The mount is 38.42mm long, 10.84mm wide at the centre, 8mm wide across the terminals, 2.64mm thick and weighs 5.58g. It is 16th 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: | 1500
