Description: PAS Database ID: LON-A33FF5 Image provided by Kate Sumnall, Finds Liaison Officer for Greater London. Copper-alloy boar mount found on the Thames foreshore near the Tower of London, London in October 2012. The boar is chained and collared, is wearing a crown, and has a crescent moon on the top of one of its forelegs (indicating that its wearer was a second son). It is believed to be associated with King Richard III, and may have been attached to an item of leather clothing worn by one of the king's supporters.
