Description: | Copper alloy mount, probably of Medieval date. The mount is roughly sub-square in shape, broadly rectangular in section with additional smaller sub-rectangle protrusions extending from the top and bottom sides. The upper surface has moulded decoration in the form of a shield, which is slightly off centre, with a rampant lion right. There is a plain incised linear border around the central square panel. The right half of the shield has red enamel inlay whilst the left side has traces of a pale green or blue inlay. The rampant lion and upper surface of the mount has traces of gilding. There are two protruding small domed copper alloy rivets in the sub-rectangular protrusions. The rivet in the protrusion above the shield is 6.19mm from the outer edge and 5.68mm from the sides (L. 8.34mm. D of head 4.52mm. Th. 2.42mm). The rivet in the lower protrusion is 2.71mm from the outer edge, 6.98mm from the right and 4.66mm from the left (L 9.04mm. D of head 5.14mm Th. 2.46mm). Both rivets are sub-circular in section. The reverse is slightly concave with the two rivets protruding approximately 3.15mm. Patchy mid-green patina.
