Description: | Copper-alloy harness mount with heraldic decoration. Quatrefoil in shape with small right-angled projections between each lobe, it is now corroded and no enamel survives. The relief areas of copper-alloy consist of three crowns, one in each of the side lobes and the lower lobe, with an arrow in the middle pointing downwards. The feathers of the arrow can be seen in the upper lobe and the point is within the lowest crown. Off-centre on the reverse is a sturdy integral rivet. The arms are those of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds, and the mount was presumably fixed to one of the abbey's horses. The mount is now a little bent.
