Description: | Dr Dora Thornton, Curator of Renaissance Collections, says:Star-shaped silver(?) mount with four projecting feet, curved at the ends, one shirred off. Joined to the centre by animal masks with swags to form a frame; centre now bare but suggestion that some decorative feature was attached (glued?) to the centre. Back plain.Facture and style and look of the metal suggest a post 1708 date for this object, which has also been shown to the early medieval curator. I am uncertain as to how to place this object, but due to its largely undiagnostic nature of the find it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
