MOUNT

Unique ID: LVPL-6C7F02

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Lead alloy mount, probably a furniture mount. The mount is circular in plan and has been cast. Some of the edges have been lost either through corrosion or by being broken in use or whilst it was in the ground. The front face is decorated, the back is plain. The decoration consists of a slightly raised central circular boss surrounded by a ring of twisted wire effect. Around this is a line of pellets. The back is free from decoration and the remains of two rivets can be seen on the outer edge.
