Description: | A cast lead mount of probable post-Medieval to modern date. The artefact takes the form of an anthropomorphic head, the moulded facial features being realistic in appearance. The face is narrow, the convex sides of the face narrowing towards a rounded chin. The eyes are deeply recessed and the eyebrows depicted by broad horizontal mouldings. The nose is prominent but has become slightly flattened. The lips are narrow and the mouth closed. There is damage to the hair. On the reverse of the head is a vertical void with a folded tab on either side. These tabs are clearly some form of fixing and may have attached the mount to harness strap or similar. The surfaces of the mount bear traces of a black coating and are relatively uncorroded. The object measures 31.5mm high, 20.5mm wide and 10.7mm thick. The weight is 26.62g.
