Silver mount. A two-part fixture detached from a larger object. A comma-shaped plate and a smaller plate of possibly quatrefoil form are [probably] soldered together, and a small tab on the back of the latter may relate to the fixing of both. The display side of the larger plate bears a covering of what appear to be individually applied leaves in fine stamped metal sheet and is bordered by a string of tiny pellets. The smaller round plate presents itself as a slightly concavo-convex floret with four orders of finely modelled stamped petals round a central boss: a chrysanthemum flower m…

Silver possible mount. A thin strip of beaten metal decorated with incised comma-shaped curls between rouletted lines, and with zones infilled by vertical hatching. Bend to penannular form, and possibly a binding from a cane or whip stock. The thickness of the metal is a feature it shares with various items of silver scrap to which a Victorian date is usually attributable. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1850 Length (as found): 25mm, Width: 8.6mm, Thickness: 0.2mm, Weight: 0.64gms

Silver mount. Cast rectangular openwork mount comprising a central rhomboid with a knopped loop on each of its four sides. A pair of integrally cast rivets of diameter 2.4mm and length 1.2mm with burred ends project from the back. Presumably for a belt, perhaps complementing a silver buckle suite. The finder kindly notes the fan-like pattern of fine lines on the back: these are deemed to indicate the use of a mould made of cuttlefish bone. Comparable white metal [lead/tin alloy] mounts from London are dated to 1400-1450 (Egan 1991, 205, fig. 129 nos 1112-1113), this is perhaps an …

Silver mount. Stamped or beaten openwork mount of irregular quatrefoil form with a central triangular cut out and a projecting loop of aperture diameter 1.5mm at three symmetrically distributed points. The finder kindly suggests this to be a jewellery component. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800 Height: 18.2mm, Width: 16.6mm, Thickness: 0.5mm, Weight: 0.80gms

Silver and copper alloy mount. Rectangular plate of white metal [of thickness 1.6mm], here taken as silver, with a pair of smaller rectangular copper alloy bars attached to one side. The initial identification of the material has been disputed by the finder, prompting its re-examination. Kevin Leahy has kindly re-examined the object under a microscope and comments: 'A tricky one. It's gilt but I don't think that it is silver plated'. A pair of ?copper alloy rivets [of length 6.6mm and diameter 2.6mm for the most completely viewed] pass through the larger plate and one may termin…

Silver mount. A fragment of silver sheet with an ornate stamped design on its display side, and with vaguer indications of these details on its reverse. A curved profile might hint at use on a scabbard or sheath, or perhaps on the handle of an implement of tableware. A fragment of plain rolled sheet is trapped within the concave back of the fragment. The decoration comprises [described from the top as illustrated] a row of quatrefoils in U-shaped frames, a projecting plain collar, a pelta-shaped curl of pellets enclosing a horizontal lozenge, a group of five vertical lozenges which ar…

Silver mount. Domed sheet metal object, possibly from a knife pommel, with a rectangular panel of curvilinear foliage framed by a double line of stamped dots, probably appearing on opposed sides but clearly viewed on only one. The style of decoration recalls Carolingian acanthus leaf decoration. Now split and crumpled. In view of its suspected date and material this object is to be submitted to the Treasure process, ref. 2021 T471. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 800-850 Width: 34mm, Height: 14.1mm, Thickness: 0.2mm, Weight: 3.04gms

Silver mount. The tiny stamped and naturalistically rendered two-dimensional image of a game bird standing with head erect; the texture of feathers is faithfully rendered on its wings and long tail, and a small bifid comb projects from the back of the head. The subject is perhaps a pheasant. The object has become detached from its setting, perhaps a wooden vessel. The interest in sporting pursuits which this object hints at is complemented by the frequent reporting from the vicinity of lead shot taken to be for fowling pieces. The thickness of this mount is similar to that of many ite…

Silver mount. Rectangular plate with clipped corners and a slight curvature viewed in profile, with the silvery stubs of integrally cast fixing pins on the back. The display face is silvery but encrusted with adhering sand; a greenish tint appears on the back, again through encrustation. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1750. Length: 17.6mm, Width: 12.4mm, Thickness: 1mm, Weight: 1.56gms

Silver possible mount fragment. A short fragment from a strip with one straight edge and one indented edge, and cut at either end. Incised hand-cut decoration appears to be part of a frieze of schematically rendered vegetation. The thinness of the sheet metal is typical of scraps of later silver which became incorporated into rubbish despite the intrinsic value of the material. Where their forms are better understood, these objects often appear to be of Victorian date. In this case, decoration appears to have been rendered in an artisan rather than an industrial tradition. Suggested d…
