Description: | A collection of 2 copper alloy mounts of the same design. The are circular and domed, with eight projecting domed lobes round the edge. The reverse is concave and there are the remains of a square sectioned shank or spike projecting from the centre. 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. There are very similar but smaller mounts recorded as SWYOR-36B463 found in the same area. These examples were recovered from all across Towton Battlefield, so it is suggested that they may date from 1461.
