Description: | Medieval/Post Medieval Lead mount, possibly from harness, damaged and bent, circular, edge with three possible notches from attachment and counter-relief decoration comprising a shield bearing quartered arms, set between three pairs of ears of wheat and all within a border of S's alternating with broad bands of lozengiform cross-hatching. The arms on the shield are poorly executed and are presumably meant to represent those of England, that is: Quarterly France Modern (1 and 4) and England (2 and 3) (1400-1603). The lions passant guardant are extremely crude and schematic and lack their limbs and tail. The 1st and 4th quarters are damaged and it is not possible to be entirely certain whether France Ancient (semy-de-lys) or France Modern (three fleurs-de-lys) was represented, although the latter is more likely. Diameter 58mm. 3mm thick. Weight 2.45oz, 69.57g. 15th-16th century.
