MOUNT
Unique ID: NLM-D2E0A1
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A Medieval mount, consisting of the figure of a virgin martyr soldered on to a hollow, tubular fixing, closed at the bottom end by a solid oval plate. The top end is broken, and, close to the break, is a cut-out area clearly designed as part of a complex fixing arrangement. The figure of the saint carries in her right hand the palm of martyrdom; her left side is damaged, so that her iconographic attribute has probably been lost. The whole figure is very much worn, and lacks definition of drapery or physiognomy.
The mount is silver and dates from the fourteenth or fifteenth century.
Dimensions: length 40 mm, width 9 mm.
Notes:
Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
