MOUNT

Unique ID: YORYM-44A664

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A cast lead mount or similar object. The object is trapezoidal in shape, with the upper edge being longer than the lower. The front surface depicts a crude design of a forest scene. A deer can clearly be seen in the centre and floral elements can be seen around the edge. Simon Holmes thought that the object could have been used to press the image into pastry. The reverse is flat and shows no decoration or signs of attachment.
