Description: | Silver mount fragment. Cast plate with a classically derived form resembling a vesel with flat top, expanded body and a pair of basal curls, beyond which the object is broken at a constriction punctuated by a drilled fixing hole of diameter 1.8mm. A further two similar holes appear at either edge of the expanded part of the object, and a U-shaped lug projects from its top and is folded as if to clasp the rim of a vessel. Incised curvilinear decoration comprises an upper tier of overlapping ovulo shapes with internal shading of short strokes and with further vegetal curls above and below. The letters PS within rectangular hollows are stamped on the back; this could be a maker's initials or may stand for pure silver. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.Height: 28.2mm, Width: 20mm, Thickness: 1.6mm, Weight: 3.49gms
