A copper-alloy unidentified object of Unknown date and uncertain function. This 'Y'-shaped hollow object has three cylindrical arms.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Possibly a post medieval lead or lead alloy mount with a pin, possibly base silver or white metal, inset in the rear. The outer face depicts a five petalled tudor rose. Possibly a military insignia for mounting on horse harness. Probably dates to between c1714 and c1910 AD.

It would have been a very heavy button. The approximate diameter is 30mm and the weight 25.55g. Closest parallel found on the database so fa…

A complete but damaged copper alloy disc mount dating to the Roman period. The face of the mount is decorated with a simple but abstract floral or rosette design, with the outer edges of the mount being crimped. Short linear scors on the edges of the 'petals' accentuate the design but there is no further detail.

A complete (although slightly damaged) lead alloy (pewter) mount dating to the Roman period. The mount is circular in plan and flat with an integrally cast spike or prong on the reverse.
