Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount, dating to the 17th century, between AD 1600 ? 1700 (length: 40.5mm; width: 10mm; thickness: 9.5mm; weight: 6.1g). This equal-ended mount is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with two complete cast copper alloy integral pointed lugs (one of which has been bent out of shape) at the top and bottom of the back of the artefact. The artefact has a decorative form comprising of an oval centre flanked by a single protruding knob to the left and right at the top and bottom of this centre. The ends of the mount then narrow slightly before expanding outwards again to form sub-triangular terminals. There is no decoration on the front or back of the mount. Overall, the mount is in a worn but fair condition with very little of the original light brown patina remaining. Similar mounts with integral pointed lugs are illustrated in Read, B, 2001, ?Metal Artefacts of Antiquity: A Catalogue of Small Finds from Specific Areas of the United Kingdom?, pages 28-9 & 34-37, figs 19-22. | 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: | 1600
