Description: | Medieval copper alloy and gold limoges figurative mount, 52mm long, 25mm wide and 8mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a brownish patina and weighs 12.31grams. The object is in the form of a human figure with a sub-spherical head, with round eyes and the remains of a nose which is surrounded by traces of gilding. The body is flat and sub rectangular, with a protruding triangle on its left side, which represents an arm. The body has traces of raised lines which would have contained enamel cells. It has traces of a centrally placed hand holding a stylised book. There are two circular fixing holes on the body and the remains of a circular shaft on the back of the head. The object would probably have been fitted to the corner of a casket.
