An incomplete probably Post Medieval tin anthropomorphic applique mount in the form of a facing mask, dating to c. AD 1500-1600. It is similar to an ancient Greek Comedy mask, sub-rectangular with a slightly wider upper part, the jaw and chin narrower.

Some of this seems to be missing to an old break. Below this, on the brow, is a 'widow's peak' w…

A probable Roman to Early Medieval mount dating to circa AD 43-1065. The object is cast in what looks like a high tin alloy. Its front face has rounded edges while it is flat on the reverse. It is comprised of a slightly raised broken arc with two outward projecting discs. Each disc has four regularly spaced apertures which give the appearance of a single expanding cross motif. There is some unclear decoration visible at the edge of the discs (possible small annulets). Two pellets project from the centre of the discs presumably used to mount the object.

Circular tin alloy (pewter) mount or ferrule consisting of a rectangular strip soldered into a ring, decorated on the outer face with a line of lozenges or diamond shapes forming a band between parallel raised borders around the circumference of the ring. The decoration has been formed by pressing the strip against a pattern while rolling it through a mill. The ring is flat in section and is likely a mount from a utensil of some kind, for example, covering the junction between a handle and a knife blade. The style and manufacture suggests a Post-medieval date. A similar mount can b…

The mount may be a religious piece from the style and symbolism, and the head may depict a local saint, so that the associated book may have been a bible or some important medieval religious text. The mounts would have taken some effort to produce as there were three different procedures involved: snipping the shape, striking the main design and then stamping the central head.
