Description: | Medieval shield shaped mount, copper alloy, 37mm long and 14mm at widest point. The object is an elongated triangular shaped shield with a small circle at its base. It has upward pointing top corners on either side of a trefoil motif. Its surface shows traces of gilding, but it is corroded and no surface pattern can be seen. On its reverse it has a rivet behind the trefoil motif which points upwards. Near the base is a second rivet, this one has snapped off, but there is a fine piece of cloth (linen?) still attached to the mount. The back also shows a fracture line, which can just be made out on the upper surface, this appears to have been repaired. | 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: | 1066
