Description: | Lead alloy (or white metal) figurative mount, probably of post medieval date, c. late 16th - 1 7th centuryThe mount is complete (with a length of 34.6mm, a maximum width of 25.1mm, a thickness of 4.5mm and a weight of 15.6g) and depicts a male in side profile, facing his left. The character is depicted with wavy hair, defined by grooves and a goatee-type beard. The man's neck is adorned by a square beaded collar and his garments are adorned with raised stars containing central pellets. The rear of the piece is flat and has no decoration. There is a near-central small recess, which may have possibly been used for a weak fixing. No other means attachment is evident on the mount.The style of the figure would seem to suggest the depiction of a late 16th to 17th century European leader, although identifying the leader has proved difficult and any identification is slightly speculative.
