A cast copper-alloy mount in the form of an eagle with its wings spread. The mount is post-medieval to modern in date, probably 18th century and is probably from the lid of a vessel. The bird's head is angled to the left and feather's are represented by moulded detail on the top and bottom. The mount is clearly broken and two lugs where the bird's feet would be were presumably for attachment. Much of the surface metal retains traces of a black paint. The mount measures 50.72 mm long, 50.31 mm wide 16.03 mm thick and weighs 45.1 grams. Several similar examples are recorded on the P…

Copper alloy probable mount. Cast mount comprising a knop with lug and the stub of a rivet in situ, a hemispherical concavo-convex boss with a textured display face, and a further knop with a flattened rivet or rove on its back and a hook below it. This object differs from later medieval purse hangers and pendent mounts, though the fastening with separate rivets might be seen as a medieval trait. The form may relate it to sword hanging suites of 16th to 17th-century date, though this may have been intended for a distinct purpose. Suggested date: Early Post-Medieval, 1500-1600. Le…

An incomplete and corroded Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount. The mount is flat and sub-rectangular with a single square-cross-section integral prong projecting at right angles from the centre of the reverse side. The tip of the prong is missing from an old break. The front face is decorated with a raised border within which there is a foliate scroll in the form of an elaborate "S". The foliate form of decoration is perhaps more suggestive of a Post Medieval date. The single square-pin indicates the mount could possibly be from an item of furniture or a casket. . The m…

An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman mount. The mount was once figure of eight in plan, but is now broken and one end loop is incomplete. It has hollow cast reverse and a rounded front. The mount is formed from two opposing crescents, back to back, which terminate in broad 'trumpet heads'. An integral loop then spans the opposing trumpet heads at either end to form the end loops of the figure of eight. The ends of the trumpet heads are raised ridges. The reverse of the mount is plain and hollow behind the trumpet mouldings. At one end is a short integral circular shaft with an integr…

A nearly complete cast copper alloy zoomorphic decorative mount, probably from the Medieval period, c. 12th-c. 13th century AD.

Copper alloy possible metal Working debris. An object comprising a solid slightly tapered rod of minimum diameter 8.3mm at one end, a medial expansion to a sub-spherical form of diameter 19mm, and the fragmentary remains of a thin curved flange of thickness 2.9mm at the other end. The nature of the object between these ends is obscured by its having been partly melted, which would demand higher temperatures than would usually occur outside an industrial setting.
