Description: | A copper-alloy belt mount or horse harness decoration of post-medieval date. It is suggested that mounts with two rivets, such as this piece, probably date to the 17th century AD (see B. Read; 2001; pp. 27). For a parallel on the PAS database, see BH-4642B1.
The mount takes the form of a scallop shell which comes to a point at the top and has seven incised vertical grooves and three more lightly incised horizontal grooves in the upper surface. On the reverse are two rivets which appear to have been added separately. The top rivet is broken and the bottom one has been deliberately bent downwards.
The mount measures 26.7mm long, 19.7mm wide and 7.2mm thick. The weight is 4.79g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
