Description: | A Medieval, cast, copper-alloy, anthromorphic mount or stud representing a crowned, human head, possibly the King's head. The mount is sub-triangular in plan. The front face of the mount is domed whilst the rear is concave. The front face of the mount is decorated with a series of incised linear lines which form a crude and stylised crowned head. The eyes are represented only by two, horizontal lines and the nose is a slightly moulded projection with no definition. The mouth is, again, represented by a single, horizontal line. The crown has a stylised, central lis, pointed ornaments and similarly shaped side fleurs. There is a drilled hole in the centre of the forehead to accomodate a rivet.
