Found Norfolk, UK.
An unusual mount in some respects: the body is both long and sturdy, but the ledge is very narrow, and the two mounting holes are close together (which would be a weakness when mounting on a strap); the decoration is remarkably unambitious for so large a piece whose flat panel offers a great deal of scope for ornament. -
