MOUNT

Unique ID: NARC-001D56

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Copper-alloy mount. The mount is triangular with a circular knop on the top. It is 23 mm long and 9 mm wide. The circular knop is 5 mm wide and is decorated with five vertical raised lines. The obverse of the mount is slighty curved whilst the reverse is flat. From the reverse extends an attachment spike, bent over to run down the mount. The remains of another attachment spike are evident above the other, although this has been broken. The object was probably intended to be attached to a leather strap or belt. It is difficult to determine what period this mount dates to.
