Description: | Large copper-alloy mount, probably from horse-harness. 41 mm long and 11 mm wide, it has no decoration but is cut into a decorative symmetrical shape. There is a central oval lobe and two terminal lobes with rounded ends and incurved sides. On the reverse of each of these is a rectangular-section bent-over attachment spike, which would have passed through leather 5-6 mm thick. The shape of the mount seems rather classical in inspiration; it is 16th century or later, perhaps as late as 18th century.
