Description: | Cast copper alloy oval military belt plate badge or horse harness mount, flat in profile, depicting the crowned Royal garter with the motto: HON Y SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE (?evil be to him who evil thinks?) surrounding the heraldic coat of arms which has five small shields within one square shield, surmounting alternating quarters of three lions rampant and two ? ? is this a local Cornish family?
The plaque has a central rivet hole for attachment, and another hole through one of the roundels of the crown, which may be caused by damage rather than purpose.
Read (2001) illustrates a mount with a similar coat of arms on page 44, Fig.27, No.377, and one with a similar crown and garter on page 45, Fig.28, No.381, which are dated to the 18th to 19th century. | 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: | 1700
