Description: | Medieval mount from belt, hollow cast crowned head of a king, with angular features and pierced through the forehead by a separate copper alloy rivet. 13 x 16mm. Cf. a mount from Emneth (HER 39308). Probably related to folding clasps, such as that from West Walton (HER 25853) with an integrally cast head of a king on the outside edge of the frame. An example from London, is illustrated and discussed in Dress Accessories (1991) no.568 and others are known from Dover and Lincolnshire. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
