Description: | A cast copper alloy object, possibly a fragment from a buckle or mount.
The object is formed from a strip of copper alloy, cast integrally to a moulded cherubs head. Either side of the head two further projections can be seen. All three projections have broken and are very worn.
Gilding can be seen on the surface of the head.
Much of the artefacts original surface has been lost and the gilding only survives in traces. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. This mount probably dates from the post medieval period, circa 1600-1800. It is very similar to other 16th ? 17th century mounts. | 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: | 1550
