Damaged shield shaped mount. This mount is shield shaped with a trilobed top edge. It is very worn and corroded, so it is impossible to tell if it once displayed an heraldic design. The reverse of the mount is concave. There is a small stump of metal to the top end of the reverse, that is all that remains of the integral shank. The object is corroded with patches of green and red corrosion product. It is 17.18mm long, 12.06mm wide and weighs 1.47g. A shield shape mount can be seen in Read, 2001, number 257. This example can be closely dated due to its heraldic design, but this object can only be dated to the 15th or early 16th century.
