Description: | Two fragments of a flat, copper alloy mount, probably medieval in date. The larger fragment appears to be in the shape of a shield. Its lower surface is plain. However, its upper surface is decorated with a raised pattern, representing a water bouget. The smaller fragment has an incised hatched pattern. The water bouget is part of the coat of arms of the Roos family, who were prominent in the early thirteenth century AD. The plate measures 54mm in length and 64mm in width. It is possible that the mount formed part of the heraldic decoration on a tomb. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
