Object type: MOUNT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast copper alloy Medieval decorative mount.
The mount is irregular in plan as the top section is broken. It was probably meant to be circular when complete. The front has has a lion passant right, the reverse is plain and flat. The lion is in relief and its legs reach the very edge of the mount. There are irregularly shaped holes in between the lions legs, one in front of it and two above its rear end. It has been gilded but most of this is now missing.
There are no obvious remains of rivets, they were probably placed through some of the holes and have broken off.
