Description: | A corroded and incomplete copper-alloy box mount of Medieval date. It is missing one end due to old breaks. The mount is rectangular in form, triangular in section with raised rectangular panels at the old break and mid-way along its length. At the complete end is a raised transverse collar from which extends an oval terminal with elongated pointed knop. The terminal has a central circular aperture. Traces of an added white metal coating are visible on the front face but the entire object is extremely worn and corroded obscuring any other decorative elements. It measures 65.98mm in length, 11.47mm in width, 4.25mm in thickness and 9.18g in weight.This is an incomplete box mount of Medieval date. It finds a near identical parallel in an example from London (Egan, 1998: no. 147) and is of probable 13th-14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
