Description: | An incomplete and bent copper alloy mount, probably for a box or casket of Medieval date. Only the terminal end survives, the remainder is missing due to old breaks, now worn.It is rectangular in over-all shape with a triangular section, with a flat back. The surviving terminal end has two collars created by a pair of rectangular notches cut into its sides. At this point the mount becomes flat in section and circular in shape with a circular hole in its centre. Finally the end of the terminal is flat and triangular.This mount measures 24.90mm in length, 8.33mm in width, 2.96mm in thickness, 2.80g in weight.This mount is similar to an example discovered in London (Egan, 1998, pp. 73, no. 147). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
