Description: | Medieval copper alloy mount, lozengiform or 'diamond' shaped, wth two 1mm diameter piercings on a level with each other and slightly higher (or lower) than the mid-point of the mount.
The mount is decorated with rocker-arm, flanking the edges and also creating a cross through the centre, joining up to the edges. A rocker-arm X crosses this, giving four segments within the boundary.
The two piercings are positioned mid-way along two adjoining arms of the X.
On the reverse are traces of solder, especially around the piercings and the area in the point at the opposite end of the mount to these.
It measures 26.6x23.1x0.7mm and weighs 2.13g.
Cf WILT-B81C01 which has a rectangular shaped loop on the reverse, visible to the front in two holes, also slightly above the centre-point. | 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: | 1066
