English: Large quatrefoil copper-alloy mount, with small right-angled point in each angle. On the reverse is a substantial integral tapering spike. The front has enamelled and gilded decoration; in the centre is a relatively small shield with the charge Azure, a lion rampant. The lion would have had to be either silvered or gilded (according to heraldic convention) but there is no trace of either, the metal here being corroded. Around the shield is a narrow reserved border of metal, then three dragons on a red enamel background. There is one dragon to either side and one above, and two retain tiny scraps of gilding. The tails of the two side dragons cross below the shield and the dragon above has its head to the left turned upwards. Around the outside of the mount is a copper-alloy border. It seems likely that this very smart object has the arms of Mohaut or Montalt (Azure a lion rampant argent), a family who held estates in Suffolk (Framsden, Cretingham, Kessingland), Norfolk (Castle Rising) and elsewhere. Roger de Mohaut was born in c. 1262, summoned as a baron in 1295 and died without issue in 1296. His brother Robert was born in 1274, and summoned as a baron in 1299. He fought for the king in Scotland in 1300, 1303 and 1310-11; in 1309 he went on pilgrimage to Santiago. In 1324 he was one of the joint keepers of the ports and coast of Norfolk and Suffolk (a military post). He married Emma, widow of Richard, Lord FitzJohn, but died without issue in 1329.
