Description: | A copper-alloy belt mount or horse harness decoration of probable 17th century AD date.
The mount is symmetrical in form, the basic shape being two eliptical portions aligned end to end. At each end is a moulded three-lobed terminal and on either side of the narrow central point is a single moulded lobe. The upper surface of each eliptical portion has relief decoration comprising a four-petalled flower head bordered by four raised pellets. The heavily corroded surface has traces of gilding. On the reverse are three equally-spaced integral copper-alloy rivets, all of which are incomplete.
The mount measures 44.3mm long, 12.5mm wide and 7.7mm thick. The weight is 8.25g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
