Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Cast copper alloy hollow composite button, circular in plan and spherical in profile, with a separate soldered backplate that has an attachment loop or shank that is circular in profile. Most of the original surface of the exterior of the button has corroded away, but it appears to have been undecorated. Bailey (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 77, Fig.9.330, which is dated from the 18th century.

Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy mount, lozenge-shaped in plan with one trefoil knop survivng, and missing the opposite terminal, which was likely also a trefoil. There is one integral pointed lug on the back of the trefoil terminal and the other broken missing end would also have had another pointed lug. The extant lug is quite long at 10mm. The surface of the mount is quite corroded and pitted, but some foliate decoration can be made out on the trefoil terminal. There are also blackened areas which may be the remains of black lacquer or tinning. Read (2001) illustrates as similar exam…

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy seal matrix, oval in plan and inscribed with a sun motif with radiating linear rays alternating with curvilinear lines of mirrored '?' shapes, all within an oval pelleted border. The handle is broken so that only the base remains which is recessed above a collar that is oblong in plan. The base is quite thin and rectangular in plan, but widens in profile, which suggests that it may have been an openwork trefoil handle like the examples below. This type of seal matrix with a flat oval face and a handle with a flattened trefoil that is made up of three perforated circl…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy mount, possibly a sword belt mount dating from the post-medieval period, that is c. AD1500-1700. The mount is oval or egg-shaped with two attachment loops at the top (one of which is now missing) and a larger, now broken, loop between. There was another loop at the other end, but this is now missing. All surfaces are extremely worn,especially around the edges, but it looks as if the mount was decorated with vertical mouldings and a floral or fleur-de-lys pattern on the obverse.
