Description: | A cast copper-alloy hooked mount of Medieval date, c. 1200-1500.The mount is an elongated shield-shape in plan with a hooked arm extending out from the centre of the upper edge. The hook has a mildly elaborated terminal. The shield has a bar running diagonally across it from the upper left corner to the lower right edge. There is some damage to the upper left corner. There are two circular perforations, one in the top of the shield and one set near the point at the bottom, this latter which retains its rivet.The mount would have functioned in a suspension capacity, with the shield plate fixed to a strap or some other object, with the hook hanging from a suspension loop.
