Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy post-medieval mount in the form of a moulded fleur-de-lys. It is openwork due to cicurlar perforations between the side petals and the main lobe; the side petals curve round to join a moulded 'rope' formed of a main ridge flanked by grooves above and below. Below the rope the three 'stems' protrude. The reverse feature a pair of abraded off-centre lugs aligned longitudinally. A number of such mounts are attested in the literature (e.g. Read 2001, 37; ref. 336) and on this database - see WILT-3846F4. They date approximately to the 17th century. | 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
