Description: | A corroded, cast copper-alloy mount or eyelet of Medieval date. It is flat, disct shaped in form with a large central circular aperture. To either side of the aperture are single circular rivet holes. The front face of the mount has incised decoration comprising zig-zag or diagonal grooves radiating around the central aperture, possibly forming a star-shaped motif, but this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. Traces of a very worn added white metal coating or gilding are visible. It measures 19.04mm in diameter, 1.78mm in thickness and 1.60g in weight. This is a Medieval mount or eyelet of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 795-796). It is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
