Description: | An incomplete lead, gilt mount, possibly intended for a ceiling or similar, and presumably of Late Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval date (c.1450-1700).The mount is quatrefoil and consisting of four triangular projections with narrower ribs between, all extending from a central point. The edge is somewhat damaged. At the centre is a red/ orange substace, possibly the result of burning. The gilded surface is mostly intact.Measures 15.20x14.34x4.52mm and weighs 3.96g.A similar gilded lead mount was found in excavations in London in a context dated c.1500-1550 (Egan, 2005; Material culture in London in an age of transition, pp.69-70, no.309).
