Description: | A cast copper alloy mount with a roughly square shape. There is a rectangular protuberance in the middle of each side and a rough fleur-de-lis at each corner. The main body is mostly filled by a raised shield with three lions passant gardant cast in relief (the arms of England until the early 14th century). There seems to be vegetal decoration surrounding the shield. Traces of red enamel survive. The edge decoration is poorly executed, lacking good symmetry, but the lions are carefully portrayed. There are the remains of two attachment pins, in the upper right and bottom left. This artefact probably dates to the 13th or 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | ANDREWS, Dominic - Illustrator | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
