Description: | Complete enamelled copper alloy Limoges mount in the form of a saint. The mount depicts a robed male figure standing facing, with his head turned very slightly to his left which suggests that this was the right hand figure of a set of three. The head is life-like, solid and has two blue enamelled pellets representing the eyes. The other facial features are very worn. The body is convex and has two rivet holes down the centre. The robe is decorated with ten or eleven longitudinal cells filled with blue enamel that highlights the folds in the robe. The bottom perimeter of the mount is slightly angled from lower left to upper right when viewed face-on.Mounts such as these are often seen in sets of three decorating the sides of caskets.
