Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper alloy medieval mount. The openwork lozenge shaped mount has an animal, which is probably a lion, in profile, facing left with his head turned to the right. The style of the animal is typical Romanesque, though none of the detail on the animal survives. The legs and head are integral to the edge of the mount and an integral thin line attaches back of the animal to the edge. In three of the corners of the mount is a circular knob and the bottom corner is incomplete. Both faces of the mount are exactly the same. The length is 29.3mm, the width is 29.1mm, the thickness s 4.3mm and the weight is 11.57g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
