Medieval Bronze Corpus Christi Figurine. Circa 15th century AD. Copper-alloy, 32.07 grams. 66.24 mm.

He is wearing a loincloth, his knees are slightly bent with pins holes through the hands and feet.

Medieval Face Mount. Circa 13th-14th century AD. Copper-alloy, 3.54 grams. 18.43 mm. A stunning piece of medieval sculpture depicting a male bust wearing a head covering. A possible representation Saint Benedict of the highest quality made in heavily tinned or silver plated bronze. It is unclear from the reverse of the piece exactly what it was part of, the only clue is a semi-circular opening at the top and bottom that suggests it had a shaft running through it to attach it to a lower section. Possibly a full figure or an attachment for decoration, the original use of this piece must have been of some importance and certainly a piece of high status. Ref: for comparison see. St Wolfgang Altar, St Wolfgang church, Austria. From the collection of a retired detectorist.

The shank widens at the shoulders and joins the circular bezel, each side decorated with fluted panels and a pellet border.
