Description: | Post medieval copper alloy mount. The mount has a flat front in the shape of a square topped by a triangle topped by a circle topped by a pointed oval. Projecting from the flat back are two integrally cast pointed rivets, each has been bent over at right angles at 3.2mm along their length. They are bent in the same direction. The provision of such attachment prongs has been suggested as characteristic of horse harnesses although they may also have been used on dress accessories (Egan 2005:39-40); in general they date to the 16th-18th centuries.
The mount is 22.1mm long, 8.5mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 2.0 grams. The rivets are 2.6mm wide by 1.2mm thick and c. 8.3mm long. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
