A copper alloy sexfoil mount of Medieval date. It is circular and domed, with six projecting domed lobes round the edge. The reverse is concave and there is a broken square sectioned shank or spike projecting from the centre. The mount has a white metal coating. This example was recovered from Towton Battlefield, so it is suggested that it might date from 1461. Compare SWYOR-36B463.
