Description: | Cast copper alloy sexfoil mount of medieval date (c.1300 - 1500AD).The mount has a domed centre with a sub-rectangular hole through it for a separate rivet, now lost. The six lobed petals are arranged in a regular 'Star of David' pattern. Each petal has a rounded knop like tip and slightly curved sides.The rear of the mount is plain and un-decorated. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a range of flower mounts made of copper alloy sheet, p.186-194 and suggest a date from the middle of the 14th century until the late 15th century.44.06 x 43.77 x 6.37 mm (L x W x H)10.48g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
