Description: | A cast copper alloy mount in the form of an animal, possibly a lion. The animal is sitting upright and has a squared snout with a slightly opened mouth - two diagonal scores on each side of the head represent the eyes. The animal also has a long tail curled around the back to form a loop, possibly for a form of attachment, such as a cord. The mount has a circular knop on the underside that would have been used to attach it to a vessel (probably). The mount also has holes between the front legs and on each side between the front and back legs, to aid the design of the lion-like figure. The mount may date from the 15th or 16th centuries.
