Description: | A copper alloy mount which probably dates from the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The mount is circular with a diameter of 30mm and is slightly convex. It is decorated with curved radial lines of punched dots round a central indented circle. The reverse is hollow and there are two thick pointed oval lugs at opposite sides at the edge. There are the remains of a ferrous rivet in each lug. There are traces of silvering surviving on the side of the lugs. The mount is 11.1mm thick from the apex of the front to the back of the rivets. The metal is dark brown in colour and there is grey green corrosion in the holes on the front and all over the reverse. Similar designs can be seen on buttons of the period in Bailey (2004). | 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
