Description: | An interesting probable belt mount or perhaps, harness mount of copper alloy with a gilded surface. The depiction is of a Cherubic figure astride a Griffon mounted on a Fess (Belt or girdle). The heraldic symbolism being one of honour suggesting the property of a valorous soldier whose magnanimity is such that he will dare all dangers, and even death itself, rather than become captive. A fixing rivet is still attached to the object.
