Description: | Medieval shield shaped mount, copper alloy, 37mm long and 14mm at widest point. The object is an elongated triangular shaped shield with a small circle at its base. It has upward pointing top corners on either side of a trefoil motif. Its surface shows traces of gilding, but it is corroded and no surface pattern can be seen. On its reverse it has a rivet behind the trefoil motif which points upwards. Near the base is a second rivet, this one has snapped off, but there is a fine piece of cloth (linen?) still attached to the mount. The back also shows a fracture line, which can just be made out on the upper surface, this appears to have been repaired. | Subjects: | Shield Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
