Description: | Heart shaped copper alloy medieval mount cut from sheet with bevelled edges and a separate copper alloy attachment loop. The mount is has a pale green patina with traces of tinning on the back. The loop is formed of circular sectioned wire and is riveted through two holes on the front of the heart and hammered flush on the front; it is much redder suggesting it is a different composition copper alloy which has patinated differently.The mount is similar to PAS records: SWYR-C55408 and WILT-566D86, which reference Read (2001:17) mount 133 (Fig. 11) and give a Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval date (c.AD 1450-1550). SF-951180 and SUSS-ABD275 also provide parallels with similar unusual loop attachment. SUSS-ABD275 like this example and unlike the others, does not have any visible remaining rocker arm decoration.
