Description: | A copper alloy anthropomorphic mount in the form of a human head dating from the Medieval period. The face is forward facing and crowned. It narrows towards the chin and the eyes, nose and mouth can be easily distinguished. The object has a smooth grey patina. Part of a rivet and the rove is present on the reverse of the mount which is hollow. It has a length of 14.94mm, width 10.33mm, thickness 4.80mm, weight 2.07g. The head is similar in style to the 'King's Head' clasps which can be seen in Whitehead (2003) on pages 42 and 43. They date from 1300 - 1400. It was probably a strap or belt mount. Similar examples are LIN-D63DD1, NMS-690552, LEIC-02F766, YORYM-3DC726, LIN-BF58C6, YORYM-208FF0 and NLM-90DDF6.
