Description: | A collection of 17 copper alloy mounts all of the same design. The are circular and domed, with six projecting domed lobes round the edge. The reverse is concave and there is a square sectioned shank or spike projecting from the centre of many of the examples. The ends of the spikes are bent over on some examples. The mounts have a white metal coating. There are sexfoil and septfoil mounts with some similarities to these in Dress Accessories dating from 1350 - 1400, but none are the same shape as these. These examples were recovered from all across Towton Battlefield, so it is suggested that they may date from 1461.
