Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of Medieval date. Probably stamped ratrher than cast. Some damage to the outer edges. It circular in plan with a convex base and stamped/embossed decoration on the front face. Corrosion has obscured the design, which consists of an unsymmetrical design. The back face is encrusted and worn with some iron encrusting. There are three equally spaced rivet holes, with the heads of the copper alloy rivets still present.This is a decorative stamped mount of Medieval date. It is similar to examples noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 793, 1300, pp. 167) and is of probable 14th century AD date. similar can be seen on this database at SF-CC13E8. That mount has an image of George and the dragon, which may be tha case for this example.
