Description: | A cast copper alloy mount with some surviving gilding. This mount is in the baroque style. This piece is roughly shield- shaped; the surface is corroded, but the decoration is clearly floral, with a rose at the bottom. The decoration is in raised relief, and includes perforations. Above the rose, there appear to be two stylised horses heads, and more stylised foliage, or perhaps banners. On the reverse are the stumps of two mounting spikes or rivets. The artefact is slightly bent; the obverse is dark greyish-green and the reverse is light greyish-green. Around 10% of the gilding survives as small patches. This object dates to the 16th or 17th century.
