Description: | Medieval limoges enamel figurative mount, 52mm long 21mm wide and 10mm wide at head. The object is in fair condition with some corrosion and weighs 14.93 grams. The object represents a stylised human figure with a sub circular head depicting eyes, nose and mouth. The back of the head is flat and contains a large mounting rivet. The body is a thin plate and its edges curve inwards slightly. Its body contains two large fixing holes, C2-3mm in diameter, one above the other. It is decorated with a series of gilded concentric rectangles. The inner most one wraps around the outside of the holes and between these is a gold cross with light blue enamel filling the rest. The outer gilding is seperated by dark blue enamel cells and there are traces of gold on the outer edge of the reverse and all over the reverse of the head.
