Description: | Medieval copper alloy limoges style figurative mount, 70mm long, 25mm wide and 11mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a brownish patina and weighs 31.75grams. The object is in the form of a human figure with a sub-spherical head. This has a fine nose and mouth with circular depressions containing traces of a blue material for eyes. The body is formed of a thick, curved sub-rectangular plate. It has two large circular fixing holes, one under the head and one near its base. The base appears intact and has a triangular shaped void in the centre as if to fit around something, probably the corner of a casket. The surface is decorated with raised lines, indicating drapery and originally filled with enamel. There is a clear sleeve to the left and what appears to be a book in the centre.
