Description: | Cast copper alloy Post-medieval mount. The mount is an elongated triangle in plan and has a rounded bifurcated broad end (i.e. like the top of a heart). It is flat in section. It is very worn and abraded but may once have had transverse raised lines across the narrow pointed end. The original surface does not survive and exposed surfaces are mid green. Some tinning or silvering survives to the front face. The reverse of the mount is plain. The two integral pointed shanks survive but are truncated. They now both point towards the pointed end of the mount. The mount is 24.36mm long, 9.9mm at the widest point 2.22mm thick and weighs 1.78g. 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
