Description: | A probable copper-alloy Medieval mount. The mount is square in plan and has the head of a lion in high-relief on the outer face. This may have been stamped as the copper alloy is very thin. The lion has annulet eyes, wide mouth, annulet ears and mane. The reverse is hollow. The surface of the mount is heavily abraded leaving a red/brown coloured surface except within the hollow of the reverse which has a patch of a well developed mid green patina. It measures 15.31mm long, 14.8mm wide and 2.82mm thick across the bulbous portion. It weighs 0.7g.The mount is probably Medieval in date and may have decorated a buckle plate, strap fitting or book.
