Description: | A complete cast copper alloy harness mount of medieval date. The mount is lozenge shaped with an integrally cast circular sectioned shank projecting from the centre of the reverse. The shank would have been inserted through a strap to hold it in place. The front face is decorated with a presumably heraldic device comprised of three pallets with a single bend dexter. No traces of colour remain allowing a definite attribution of these arms to be made the finder however suggests they belong to Walter de Gant, Lord of Hunmanby.The metal has a mid reddish-brown patina and is worn. The harness mount is 30.1mm long, 29.9mm wide, 8mm thick and weighs 12.5g.
