Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount dating from the Medieval period (c. 1200-1500). The mount has a concave reverse, with an integrally cast attachment pin which is now broken and worn away.The face shows a probable anthropomorphic face, with incised horizontal lines represnting eyes and a mouth, and a series of lines radiating around the upper edge representing headwear or hair. This style of mount probably represents a scallop-shell or a stylised human face.This object is similar to several other mounts on this database, for example LEIC-F627B7, NARC-60E8F3 and LIN-453696.
