Description: | Corroded and bent medieval gilt copper alloy mount, probably from furniture, comprising a bar with a copper alloy dome-headed rivet in a rivet-hole near both terminals (one, unbent, length 11mm), one terminal in the form of a fleur-de-lis, the other circular with iron-stained twin loops and containing a broken loop from the missing part. The cross-section is D-shaped between three square, flat-topped bosses, each of which is decorated with cross-hatched engraving. Stylistically related to pendant suspension mounts such as examples from London (Griffiths N. in Clark 1995, fig. 52). Length (unbent) 73mm. Width 10mm. Thickness of bar 3mm. c.1250 - c.1400.(Finders' no. AB 599) | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
