Description: | A copper-alloy medieval circa 14th century strap or belt mount. This mount is unusual as it is in the shape of a forward facing human face, which appears to be wearing a crown. It measures 16mm in length and 13mm in width across the crown, its widest point. The head is oval with a square chin and has incised triangular shaped eyes, a protruding nose and a horizontal groove representing the mouth with a diagonal groove to either side of this which indicates heavy cheeks. There is an in situ copper-alloy rivet through the centre of the forehead, below the crown. The front face is rounded and the back face concave.
