Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy mount, which features a raised human face.The mount has a concave reverse and a high relief, moulded front. The face has pointed-oval eyes, rounded cheeks, a long, slender triangular nose and a beard, formed from incised marks. Three rivet holes survive on the piece. Two on the beard and one above one eye; the opposite side may also have had a rivet hole, but this part of the mount has broken off. The metal is a mid reddish-green colour and it is pitted.This object is probably late medieval to early post-medieval in date.
