Description: | A Medieval of Post-Medieval copper alloy mount. It is a long, narrow metal strip bent round to form an S shape. There are circular rivet holes at either terminal, one of which is fractured and bent out at an angle, probably due to plough damage. The curve of the 'S' bend is extremely tight at one end, less so at the other, and the fact that it is not cracked at the fold suggests that this shaping was intentional. The mount measures 32.55mm in length (bent) and is 3.7mm in width. It weighs 2.92g. The object may have been used as a casket mount or dress mount, and a mount with some similarities from medieval London has been been published as both/either by Egan (1991,fig.134, no.1167). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
