Description: | A cast copper-alloy anthropomorphic mount of Medieval date, c. AD 1200-1500.The mount is cast with moulded decoration in the form of a man's face with a large, sweeping moustache projecting beyond the face coupled with a bushy beard, reminiscent of the cartoon character Yosemite Sam. Set atop and projecting off of the sides of the head is a pair of downward curled ram's horns. The face has a worn button-like nose and sunken eyes. The mount is convex, with an undecorated reverse, with cast integral shanks centred on the top edge and bottom edge.The style of depiction and quality of metalwork is consistent with a Medieval date, though later in the period is more likely.
