A Frankish gold mount set with garnets and green glass. This ornament consists of a circular gold plate with raised rim, having fixed on it, in gold mountings, a square green stone or piece of cobalt glass and three triangular and three lozenge-shaped red stones (garnets). There is no sign at the back of any pin attachment, the two projections being part of the sockets for the irregularly shaped stones. The weight is 3-80 gm. This appears to be a Frankish import, and not a native product; it is quite unrelated to the magnificent series of Jutish brooches which have been found in …

Description: Tiny gold filigree-decorated mount in the shape of a bird, now slightly crushed but apparently never of very fine workmanship. It has a flat gold backplate with a beaded-wire border running around the small crescent-shaped profile head looking left, probably intended as a that of a predatory bird; two wings, one curved and pointed but the other (under the head) just a rounded circle; and flared base, perhaps intended to represent a tail. The beaded wire of this border is about 0.7mm in diameter and is very worn, rubbed flat in places and scraped in others; it is missing e…

Record ID: DUR-834601
Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete gold mount, possibly of medieval date (AD 1350-1550). The mount is a slightly convex sexfoil in the form of a flower with six petals and circular recessed centre. Each of the "petals" has a hammered pellet at each side and a central incised linear decoration which creates the impression of foliage .The reverse of the mount is slightly concave with a recessed aspect centrally which is the result of a broken projection/spur which would have been used to affix the mount to clothing. A similar example is illustrated in Egan, Dress Accessories, 2002, P 243, no 1297.
