Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount of probable Post Medieval, eighteenth century date (AD 1700 - AD 1800). Length 23.2mm, width 16.1mm and 1.9mm thick. Weight 3.53g.
The mount is oval in plan and has a raised moulded design which appears to depict a bust facing right. The rear face is flat and plain and has a central integral spike, 7.0mm in length The spike is bent and lying flat against the rear face.
The object is in poor condition. A patina has not survived and the surface colour of the metal is reddish.
The style of the bust is suggestive of a later date in the Post Medieval period. | 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: | 1700
