Description: | A Medieval copper alloy mount depicting a crown, probably from a harness and probably dating to the 15th century.

The outer two angle slightly outwards at an obtuse angle and have a bifoliate terminal; the central upright has a trifoliate terminal and it projects above the outer two. It is very similar to the crowns on Medieval coinage. On the reverse there are three integral bent over spikes for attachment.A very similar example is recorded on the database as NMS-16C974. This one was discovered in Norfolk and has a suggested date of 15th century.Dimensions: height: 32.51mm; width: 45.31mm; thickness: 2.33mm; weight: 11.72g.
