Description: | Incomplete medieval gilt copper alloy mount, probably from the foot of a Limoges enamelled crucifix. The surviving part is rectangular with obliquely-angled upper edges either side of the broken central section. The worn and corroded decoration comprises two bare feet from the figure of the crucified Christ, with traces of engraved detail, both pierced by a rivet-hole and reserved on once enamelled field (enamel missing) and with a small rectangular element between. The sides and the lower end of the mount are slightly angled backward. Length 24mm. Width 29mm. 2mm thick. c.1150-c.1240.
