Description: | A cast copper alloy shield-shaped heraldic mount of medieval date. The mount measures 21.99mm by 16.99mm by 3.7mm and weighs 4g. On the front of the mount decoration has been formed by sunken areas which have been filled with enamel. The pattern comprises six annulets arranged from the top in two pairs and two singly. Above and on the sides of the upper pair of annulets there are a total of four linears which form a flat 'm' shape. Most of the infilled enamel has faded to a light green colour, although there are also traces of red, which may be the original colour. There are also traces of a darker green enamel on the background. In the centre of the reverse is the stub of the rivet which would have attached the mount, probably to horse harness. This heraldic mount probably date from the late thirteeth or early fourteenth century. | Subjects: | Heraldic | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
