Description: | A copper-alloy strap fitting: a strap mount or horse harness decoration. The mount is a sub-oval in plan with three knops at each terminal. The central knop extends to form an integral oval sectioned stud. Both studs are broken, but not recently. The upper surface of the mount is corroded. The reverse has a developed dark green shiny patina. The mount measures 24.67mm long, and 13.51mm wide. The weight is 3.2g.
The mount probably dates to the 16th or 17th centuries. | Subjects: | Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
