A worn Medieval copper alloy heraldic mount, probably dating to c. AD 1200-1400. Description: The mount is shield-shaped, with a square top tapering to a point below, with slightly convex sides.

Due to the wear there is no evidence of gilding or enamelling of the device (common on such objects such as DEV-AD12F8. The object is mottled various shades of dark grey g…

A fragment of a adulterated silver possibly late Medieval to post-Medieval casket moutn dating c.15th - 16th century.
