The reverse of the mount is flat. There are two tiny circular indents on the left, and it is unclear if these are mirrored on the right. The mount has a medium grey patina.  Measurements: Length: 27.4mm; Width: 22.6m…

A lead figure head. The head, which includes normal facial features is also wearing a hat, likely a zucchetto. Protruding from the top of the head is a small suspension loop. The suspension loop and jaw of the head form a separate piece. While unable to be removed from the rest of the head, they are free moving which means the suspension loop can be moved up and down which in turn opens and closes the mouth of the figure. There is a faint orange patina visible on the zucchetto which may potentially be the remnants of paint. Further reddish pink paint is visible above the right ey…

Lead alloy possible mount fragment. A small cast plate, perhaps originally heart-shaped, with a central drilled hole of diameter 5.6mm; the hole is now open, perhaps due to the loss of the base of the putative heart.  Thickly patinated after that breakage. A neat capital letter L appears on one side of the plate, to the right, and might hint at the loss of the initial of a spouse or lover from the left of the heart. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700 Width: 23.1mm, Height: 15.8mm, Thickness: 2.9mm, Weight: 4.65gms

An incomplete lead heraldic mount, probably of Post medieva to Modern date, AD 1800 - 1900. It is an incomplete crest of a creature, possibly an eagle, bounded by a torse (twisted roll of fabric) across the bottom. The beast's head is missing making identification difficult. It has curly hair or fur depicted on the left and possible scales or feathers on the right. It leans to the right and then curves back to the left, so may be an animal with an arched neck or be looking back over its shoulder, or may be a wing. On the reverse are three recesses for separate attachment pins,…
