Object type: HARNESS MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Medieval copper alloy shield-shaped armorial mount probably from harness. There is a lateral projection on both sides at the upper angle and a third projection from the point at the base of the shield. Each projection is in the form of a short cast leg ending in a perforated three-toed foot, thereby raising the plate from the surface to which it was riveted in order to allow a strap to pass behind the mount. Remains of red and black enamelling survive in the cast armorial decoration on the face of the mount, but the surface treatment of the metal is missing. Blazon: Ermine on a fe…
