Description: | Cast copper-alloy heraldic mount. The shield is of the common 'heater' shape, that is, with a flat top, and sides which curve steeply to a point. There is an integral tapering pin on the reverse the point of which is bent slightly downwards. The pin has a circular cross-section and is 12.36mm in length.On the right hand side of the shield are two crosses, one above the other. Both crosses are of red enamel. Small traces of red indicate that there was more enamel decoration on the top left half of the object also. The shield has been bent and curves slightly away from the pin. It can be dated to the Medieval period.
