Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy Zoomorphic mount, probably 17th or 18th century in date. The mount is made from pressed copper alloy and depicts a lion's head with mane and extending down into a 'beard' at the base. On the back there is the remains of an attachment at the bottom, but only a stub remains making the form of attachment unclear. It is 37.8mm long, 32.3mm wide and 4.3mm thick; it weighs 12.30 grams. Traces of a white substance in the recesses on the front may be the remains of gilding. NMGW-F5CBB8 and KENT-87A752 on the database appear similar though not identical.
