Description: | Recorded at the Hidden Treasure Finds Day at National Museums & Galleries of Wales. Copper alloy armorial mount of Medieval date, probably dating from the 12th ? 14th century. The mount is flat and shield shaped. Remnants of red enamel survive over much of the surface, with the suggestion of a horizontal enamelled band, probably containing green enamel. The decoration over the face of the mount probably consisted of rows of enamelled crossed diagonals forming repeating lozenges. Between each crossed diagonal is a shorter linear, which does not connect with another. A linear band interrupts the motif, inside which the design is no longer discernible. The mount has no attachment holes, although there is a slight projection near the top left hand corner (from the viewer?s perspective), possibly representing the remnants of an attachment or suspension loop. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1100
