Description: | Medeival copper alloy mount, 65mm in diameter and 2mm thick. The object is circular and slightly concave. It has a small semi-circular recess on its upper and lower edges which may be functional. In its centre is a shield motif containing three lions passant surrounded by a field of red enamel - the Plantagent arms. It has four copper alloy rivets with domed heads, 12mm long. These are arranged in an irregular square formation around the shield.The object appears to have secondary decoration on its surface. Incised triangles run from the edge of the object with their apex in the space between rivets, at least three of these are visible. There appears to be further patterned decoration within some of these triangles but it is very worn and hard to decipher.The reverse has a grey colouration and the exposed parts of the rivets have iron staining and corrosion around them.Possibly from a chest or a leather bag?
