Description: | A heavily corroded lead-alloy mount of probable zoomorphic form. The level of corrosion makes exact identification of this piece difficult; however, it is probably a stop from the handle of a late medieval to early post-medieval vessel. A similar, but less corroded, mount, with a suggested date of 14th to 16th century, is recorded on the PAS database - see BH-269433. The piece is sub-conical in form, with a vertical hole extending from top to bottom. The outer surface has moulded decoration which appears to depict the head of an animal, possibly a fish.The object measures 24mm long, 17.1mm wide and weighs 32.41g.
