An incomplete copper-alloy mount or strap mount probably dating from the post-Medieval period, about AD 1500 - 1800. The mount is a broken  'egg timer' shape with concave sides and bulbous ends. There is a single copper alloy rolled rivet positioned at one end, beyond the bulbous area. It was probably in the centre of the mount, which is probably missing another half similarly shaped to the surviving part. It is decorated only with small notches in the edge on the corners of the bulbous areas, and has a mid green patina. On the reverse is a small rectangular rove…

It is possibly part of a Medieval harness pendant suspension mount dating from about AD 1350 - 1400, or a box or casket mount of similar or slightly earlier date. The fragment is sub-rectangular and D-shaped in cross-section. One end is a projecting pointed lobe. The point rapidly broadens out and is pierced by a rivet hole (3.3mm diameter). Beyond the rivet hole is a collar. The sides then constrict slightly and then broaden again, to give a slightly waisted plan. The waisted area has a bevelled front face, making it more t…

Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex figurative mount representing the naturalistically rendered maned mask of a lion. A tousled mane surrounds a feline face with rounded features, round eyes and small ears, with a ‘beard’ below the mouth. The eyes are round with pupils modelled – one brow is lowered, though the slightly quizzical effect might be the result of a minor abrasion rather than imaginative modelling. Extensive traces of white metal plating are trapped in the modelled detail of the display side. The back is hollowed and rounded, though the casting still a…
