Description: | Medieval (13th to 14th centuries) shield shaped harness mount: The copper alloy harness fitting is shield-shaped in plan and has a form of decoration on the outer face, possibly a lion rampant facing left, but the surface is so heavily abraded so this is not certain. The reverse of the mount has a obliquely angled sub-rectangular platform or loop, due to corrosion it is not certain the form of this element of the mount. The surface of the mount has traces of a heavy mid green patina. The mount measures 30.1mm long, 22.76mm wide and 6.76mm thick. It weighs 8.8g.The shield-shaped stud/mount probably decorated a harness and dates to the 13th to 14th centuries.
