Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex mount comprising a smiling human mask in a hat or hood, with a backward pointing blunt hook rising behind it. Below the mask a miniature torso is represented with a pair of crooked ball-ended arms springing from it, and a circular loop, probably for an attachment rivet, below. The hollow mask is slightly thickened close to the hook, suggesting allowance for its use, perhaps fastening a strap. The facial features include a high brow, a broad triangular nose perhaps flattened by wear, and lidded eyes with bags beneath them. A tight fitting ha…

A broken and incomplete figurative copper-alloy mount of medieval date (c. 12th/13th century AD). The mount would probably have depicted a saint full length, by reference to similar items discussed below; only the upper half of the torso and the head survive. The figure is shown facing holding a book in their right hand, through which a rivet hole has been drilled. An old break has occurred below this, largely diagonal, but also having removed some of the right arm. The body of the object is sub-rectangular and convex. The head above is moulded and set forward of the mount. A nose and…
