Description: | A complete cast copper alloy mount dating to the Medieval period. The mount is in the form of a kings head wearing a crown. Smaller mounts of similar form can be found on this database at HESH-52C2E2 and NARC-43D1F5, both of which depict an anthropomorphic head with stylised features similar to this mount. Above the head is a lozenge shaped plate representing a crown, or more likley a mitre representing Thomas Beckett. Cast decoration on the mitre is worn. Two prongs on the reverse are short.
