A Medieval copper alloy heraldic mount, probably dating to c. AD 1200-1400. The mount is shield-shaped, with a square top tapering to a point below. Traces of gilding survive around much of the mount's edge, as well as partially on the interior. The mount is further decorated with three centrl circles, arranged to fit the plan of the shield, each inlaid with red enamel. Above these, and dividing the upper two circles is a blue label (a transverse bar with longitudinal bars descending from it), again with a blue enamel inlay surviving in situ in places. In heraldic terms this can be de…

A Medieval copper alloy zoomorphic hooked mount, probably dating to c. AD 1100-1300. The central element of the mount is a small, broadly flat, sub-rectangular plate, 9.1mm wide at the mid-point, and c. 6.7mm long. Expanding from the top corners of the mount at roughly 45 degree angles are a pair of integral arms, both terminating in an irregular sub-oval with a drilled circular perforation. The arms themselves are simple flat bars, though both are crudely cast and lean in an anti-clockwise direction. The more upright right arm is 17.9mm long, 3.3mm wide at the mid-point of the bar an…

A copper alloy Post-Medieval mount, probably dating to c. AD 1500-1700. The mount is roughly circular in plan and flat in cross section. The front is decorated, cast in low relief, with five pellets at its centre. These are arranged into a square, with a central pellet surrounded by four equally sized pellets, one in each corner. Radiating outwards from the interstice of each pair of pellets are the arms of a cross, the terminals of which extend slightly beyond the edge of the circle. The width of each arm expands from the centre towards the outer edge, and with each flanked by two pa…
