Description: | Medieval Copper alloy shield shaped mount, 23mm wide and 27mm high. The object is very worn, it has some damage on the upper right side and only a trace of the suspension loop can be seen. The decoration is made up of a raised chequerboard with a quarter in the upper left side. The quarter contains five hollowed circles (one in each corner and one in the middle). These circles and the chequers would have originally been enamelled, but no trace remains. The raised surfaces have traces of gilt and some can be seen on the plain reverse. Recorded at the Hidden treasures roadshow at Market Harborough | Subjects: | Gilt enamel shield | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
