Description: | A complete but worn cast copper-alloy Medieval heraldic horse harness stud or mount, probably 13-14th century AD in date. The mount is presently sub-circular in plan but does have notable peripheral damage. There is an integrally-cast sub-square-sectioned attachment spike or stud on the reverse. The front of the mount is probably decorated with with arms of England, the 'Gules three lions passant guardant Or' (3 gold lions on a red background); traces of the tails curled double over the backs of the animals & a raised leg in front can just be noted but the design is worn and damaged. Traces of red enamel are still present around the design but no traces of gilding remain. For a similar design, although shield-shaped, please see: LIN-CF3A73. Dated c.1200-1400.
