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.

An incomplete cast copper alloy gilt medieval object, possibly a book mount. The object comprises of a flat rectangular neck, joined with a faint collar suggested by a small bump on each outside edge where it then widens out to a roughly circular concave shape, the object being damaged and split around the edges so original shape is unclear. The flat neck part is broken off unevenly around 10mm below the collar. The side of the roundel opposite the piece of remaining neck is broken off roughly so it is impossible to say whether this rounded shape was the terminal of the object, or if …
