Description: | Cast copper alloy mount, probably late medieval. The mount is subcircular in plan and domed in section with a recessed reverse. It shows a human face of indeterminable gender. The face is moulded with a hairstyle that frames each side of the face. It has a grooved centre parting with two transverse grooves that breaks the top of the hairstyle into three rows. There are incised diagonal lines along the rows of hair which give it a textured detail. The face is moulded with a prominent triangular nose, now slightly damaged. The eyes are formed from incised lentoids with central dots. The mouth is a simple horizontal grooved line. The reverse of the mount is plain. The surface of the object survives with an even mid to dark green patina. It is 11.86mm long, 12.12mm wide, 5.34mm thick and weighs 2.07g. The mount is from an unknown object, but possibly a late medieval metal pitcher or ewer.
