Description: | Treasure Case 2010 T371 --Disclaimed on the grounds that it forms part of a formal archaeological excavation undertaken by Worthing Archaeological Society. Returned to the Society for archiving.Specialist Report:A Medieval mount, possible made to decorate a leather strap. It represents the half-length figure of a bearded male, possibly a saint, issuing from a scalloped border. The figure bears a rod in his right hand, but most of the definition has been lost through wear, making identifications difficult. A ridge along the brow of the figure resembles headgear or perhaps the Crown of Thorns, suggesting that it may represent Christ in the pose of the Man of Sorrows. On the reverse is the remnant of a stud which would have fixed the figure in place. The figure is silver-gilt and dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. Dimensions: length 11 mm, width 5 mm.JP RobinsonCurator of Medieval Collections20th September 2010
