Description: | An incomplete Late Medieval or Early Post-Medieval heart-shaped copper alloy mount, missing its loop and measuring 15.84x16.51x1.55mm and weighing 1.4g.The upper surface is decorated with rocker-arm lines flanking the edges and vertically down the centre (and in at least one resulting half). There is a rivet hole c.1mm in diameter in the upper curves of the heart shape. These would have held a copper alloy wire loop to the reverse.The reverse shows traces of solder.The mount bears close similarity to mount 133 (Fig. 11) as described by Read 2001, p17, who dates them to the late 15th to 16th century. There are also several comparable mounts on the PAS database, eg. WILT-8652A2.
