Description: | a probable late Iron Age mount or stud. It is a flat disc, 17.4mm in diameter, 3.47mm in thickness and weighing 3.8g. The upper surface is decorated with an asymetric pattern, including circles and a pelta shape, creating cells which would have been enamelled. The underside is plain and abraided. There is no sign of how this mount would have been attached, and no indication of solder. It is possible it may have been glued in some way. Examples of decorative studs of this period are known, for example from Ousden (SF-6C83F7). An example illustrated from Jope, 2000 (fig.295,k, from Lydney)although convex, is similar in decoration and size to this Little Cornard mount. | 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: | -300
