Description: | Small repoussé copper-alloy mount, in the shape of a crowned M. The letter is Lombardic, with convex sides which curl outwards at the bottom. The crown has three points, the central one branching into three at the top and the two side points branching into two. There is a single central rivet hole. The crowned M stands for Mary, Queen of Heaven, and this mount probably dates to the 13th or 14th century when the cult of Mary was at its height.
