Description: | A complete copper-alloy shield shaped heraldic mount of medieval date. Measuring 19.5mm in length and 15.7mm in width. The front face has checks of blue which was probably originally a checky Or and Azure, although no gilding can be seen now. This is the heraldry of Warenne the Earls of Surrey and there are parallel shield shaped mounts with check Or and Azure which are from Kenninghall and Congham, Norfolk, (Ashley 2002, 41, no 92 and 142).
The back face has an integral rivet which has a square cross-section and measures 10.3mm in length and 3.9mm by 3.7mm in width and thickness respectively. | 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: | 1300
