Description: | A Medieval copper alloy heraldic harness mount (13th-14th century). The mount is shield-shaped with an integral, solid, cylindrical rivet on the reverse suggesting this was used as a stud rather than as a pendant. The front surface is decorated with a rampant lion in low relief with a raised border around the edge of the mount. It is likely that the lion was surrounded by enamel but there is no enamel surviving. Dark green patina.The stud is very similar to no. 140 found in Sparle with Palgrave (Ashley 2002: 15)Dimensions: 26.68mm; width 22.52mm; thickness 6.66mm; weight 7.0gReference: Ashley, S Medieval Armorial Horse Furniture in Norfolk.
