Description: | A cast, copper alloy mount of medieval date. The mount, which is 31.1mm in length, is decorated with three crowned busts facing forwards (resembling the Edwardian Kings on the long cross pennies). Traces of gilding remains on each bust. A circular arm protrudes from the back of the mount. The arm is broken and slightly bent. The metal has a dark brownish-green colour. Shield shaped mounts such as this are often found to be horse harness fittings or strap mount. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Morris, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
