Description: | Three medieval - post medieval lead alloy mounts dating 15th - 16th century. These three mounts have a flat, circular head with a single integral rivet. The heads are decorated with a raised central boss and beaded edge to form a flower. The rivets are folded so they lie flat with the heads.A very similar mount is published in Egan & Pritchard (1991, no. 816), however it was found unstratified. No. 813 is similar, but has a slightly larger head, and comes from a context dated AD 1400-1450. Similar examples are also recorded on the database see: LON-6DFF46 and LON-F98353 (which has a replacement copper alloy shaft to turn it into a pin).Dimensions for mount 1: length: 26.75mm; diameter of head: 8.22mm; weight: 1.44g.Dimensions for mount 2: length: 29.36mm; diameter of head: 8.06mm; weight: 1.76g.Dimensions for mount 3: length: 27.70mm; diameter of head: 8.11mm; weight: 1.47g.Reference: Egan G. and Pritchard F. 1991.
