Description: | Post-Medieval mount of copper alloy with integral lugs. It is covered in a red patina. The mount wieghs 2.27g, is 24mm in length and has a maximum width of 19mm. Its shape resembles a fleur-de-lys with three lobes abutting a shoulder which is next to two adjacent pierced circles with internal diameters of 6mm and external diameters of 9.5mm. Where these two circles join a single lobe protubes.
On the reverse are two integral lugs. Both are broken but were positioned along the axis of symmetry of the mount.
By comparison to objects 745-751 in Read (1988) all of which have integral lugs and some trefoil motife, the object probably dates from the 16th-17th centuries. | 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
