A flat copper alloy square sheet with six raised pellets (three along two sides) and a central raised lozenge creating four cells for enamel. There is some gilding surving on the surface. The raised pellets are possibly meant to give the impression of rivets, but there appear to be none. The reverse is flat and the piece was presumably held in place using solder or adhesive, traces of which are not present. See DENO-800903 on this database for a parallel in style, although this example appears to have rivet holes.

A copper alloy mount, commonly used as horse furniture in the late Georgian and Victorian periods.

A raised sexfoil border contains an eagle facing right with a five petalled rose at its feet. At either side of the raised border are borders of raised pellets.

Medieval cast copper alloy mount with anthropomorphic design. D-shaped and solid in cross-section. The reverse is flat and undecorated. There is no sign of rivets or prongs which would have allowed the object to attach to another object.

An anchor, or arrow, protrudes from the chest of the standing figure, and a section connecting the head to the base of the represents either hair or blo…
