Description: | Complete enamelled copper alloy Limoges mount in the form of a saint. The mount depicts a robed male figure standing facing. The head is life-like, solid and originally had two blue enamelled pellets representing the eyes, of which only one now remains. The other facial features are very worn. The body is convex and has two rivet holes down the centre. The robe is decorated with ten or eleven longitudinal cells filled with blue enamel that highlight the folds in the robe. One fold on the left breast is filled with red enamel. The bottom perimeter of the mount is straight.
Mounts such as these are often seen in sets of three decorating the sides of caskets, or as mounts on a crucifix. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
