Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount or stud/rivet of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It has a circular head with flat back face and slightly domed front face. This has a scalloped or crenellated edge comprising 12 evenly spaced crenellations. It is decorated on its upper surface with a series of ridges that radiate from the centre of the head to each of the crenellations, each pair of ridges separated by one of six evenly spaced radiating triangular grooves. At the centre of the back face of the mount is an integral rivet that is square in section, tapering to a sharp, curved point. The entire object shows signs of post-depositional wear and corrosion. It measures 21.20mm in diameter, 3.15mm in thickness, 12.21mm in height, and weighs 5.79g. This is a decorative stud or mount of probable later Medieval to Post-Medieval date, perhaps dating to between the 14th and 17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
