Description: | A probable cast copper alloy shield-shaped mount of medieval date. The mount measures 65.9mm by 57.4mm by 2.4mm and weighs 31.4g. The motif on the front is indistinct but is probably the three lions of England. There is no trace of the means of attachment on the back. Nick Griffiths has suggested that this type of mount may have been glued to a flat surface or set behind a metal frame (Datasheet 12, 1989, p. 2). | 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 |
