Description: | Cast Cu alloy mount of medieval date. The mount is circular in shape and has part of the stud remaining on the back. It is cast integrally and has some red and white enamel still present. The front is decorated and enamelled. In the centre is a six pointed star, each triangle contains 3 lozenges arranged in a trefoil shape, the rest of the traingle is filled by white enamel. In the centre of the trinagle is the head of either a gorgon or lion facing forwards. The rest of the mount face is decorated by red enamel but the pattern is unclear due to wear. Due to the size of the mount it was likely to have been mounted on a fairly large vessel, for example a jug. | 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: | 1000
