A copper alloy incomplete mount, probably of medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400, but fairly undiagnostic. It appears to be one end of a flat rectangular mount, with three complete edges and one broken one. The complete short edge has two small (1mm diameter) rivet holes near the edge. There are faint traces of a raised borderline across the short end, and a pair of similar lines about a third along the mount. The mount is bent and torn, making further identification impossible. It is 28.2mm long, 26.5mm wide and 7.1mm thick as bent. The sheet is 1mm thick. 3.3g. It is possibly&nb…

A circular, copper alloy mount, or perhaps a maker's name plaque, of Post Medieval or Modern date, about AD 1800 - 1950. It has a single, horizontal line of cursive script in the centre which is surrounded by a legend in smaller capitals in Roman script. Both types of script are now fairly illegible, though the cursive word may say 'Yeedes' or 'Weedles', perhaps the name of a business, and some of the Roman capitals above may be BES. Two very small, flat, rectangular projections or tabs are visible on the rim at 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock on the front face. The reverse of the mount …

A cast copper alloy post-medieval harness mount or strap fitting, dating from AD 1500 - 1900. The mount is oval in plan and has a domed front. The surface is decorated with radiating grooves and the spaces between them are convex. The reverse shows no evidence of decoration but retains the remnants of the iron rivets. These are placed in the centre of two thicker platforms, one at each end of the mount. These leave a recessed area between them where a strap could slide. Similar examples are LEIC-7EB106, KENT-5659E1, NLM-76CD35 and YORYM-8ED9F1. The mount is 32.9mm long, 26.6mm wide an…

A Medieval silver gilt mount depicting a knight emerging from a snail shell on the back of a quadruped, probably a goat, probably dating from AD 1200 - 1350. The mount has a flat reverse and moulded front. In the centre of the reverse is a short circular integral rivet with a slightly burred end. There are also many striations on the reverse, in different directions, perhaps suggesting a cuttlefish shell casting, but they are not characteristically curved, and are probably also the result of filing. The probable goat has a long wavy wool coat, and is depicted lying with its …

A corroded, copper alloy mount of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is roughly shield shaped with a straight upper edge and convex sides, tapering towards the lower part of the mount where the taper becomes straighter, suggesting that the bottom part of the mount, which has broken away and is missing, may have been rounded rather than pointed. In the centre of the upper edge is a projecting rectangle of metal, pierced with a circular hole to accept a mounting rivet, now missing. Part of the projection and the upper right corner of the mount are also missing. There is a further c…
