Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast, copper-alloy, rectangular mount of the Medieval period. The mount is rectangular in plan with an incised and punched, feather-edged line along the border of each of the two longest sides. Between these two lines is a central, wavy line of the same design along the length of the mount. To either side of the central line are incised, elongated comma-shaped motifs. There is a drilled rivet hole close to each of the shorter edges. One copper-alloy rivet is in-situ, the other rivet is missing. There is old damage to the mount around the empty rivet hole, indicating that is was pris…

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast, copper-alloy mount of the Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The mount is rectangular in plan with an integrally-cast terminal at one end consisting of opposing, outward-facing crescents, joined at their centres across the width of the mount by a moulded, rectangular bar and a circular loop at the apex. The loop is drilled, probably to accept a rivet. The opposite end of the mount is broken squarely across another, drilled rivet hole. No rivets remain. There is old damage to the mount around the circular loop, indicating that is was prised off its original fixing point using a …
