Description: | Copper-alloy mount in the shape of an arm clad in armour. The hand (also clad in armour) was holding an object, probably a sword, which is now broken off. The arm comes out of a twisted border and the whole design makes it look like part of a heraldic crest. However, with only the crest surviving, the family cannot be determined. The artefact was probably mounted on a wooden box or stone - together with the other mounts that would make up the entire coat of arms. | 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: | 1400
