Description: | Heraldic horse harness mount made from pressed copper alloy sheet to form a sub-triangular plate or plaque which depicts a lion passant within a rectangular border and above a castle within a trapezoidal border. Above the lion and below the castle are two rectangular projections with circular rivet holes, but there is no evidence for any broken-off hinge loops typical of examples from Norfolk in Ashley's corpus in East Anglian Archaeology 101 (2002) (see reference below). The lion and the castle might represent the arms of Leon and Castile in Spain, although the arms today depict a lion rampant. | Subjects: | Heraldic | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
