Title
Horse furniture: A medieval shield-shaped mount of copper alloy
Description
English: A cast copper alloy medieval heraldic mount. This mount is shield shape in plan and flat in section. The reverse bears an integral shaft for attachment, that is now bent transversely. The front of the mount bears the remains of enamelled decoration, and the edges show gilding. The enamel is red, though may have suffered pigment degradation since deposition, and the overall form of the heraldic arms cannot be discerned. Elsewhere, the copper alloy surface of the mount is abraded and has an uneven patina. The object is 30mm long, 24mm wide, 3.5mm thick and weighs 15g. The integral shaft is approximately 15mm long. The mount is clearly related to medieval harness pendants of a similar form, and as such probably dates to the 14th century. It probably represents a complementary piece of horse furniture.
