A small mount shaped like a scallop shell. The object is well preserved with no indications that parts of the original shape have broken off during deposition, although the rounded edge of the scallop is slightly damaged by corrosion. The design appears to be hammered into the piece during production; it is difficult to tell if the red colour is due to corrosion/oxidisation or part of the original design due to the base material or some form of coating. This red colour continues on the underside of the object, which suggests it is a form of oxidisation and not decorative. The und…
