Description: | Copper alloy circular mount with central circular perforation. The mount is very slightly domed and has a decorated front surface. The mount depicts a six-petaled flower (daisy). The petals contain green enamel and the cells between the petals contain blue enamel. There is a raised copper alloy border around the outside of the mount and outlining the petal design which looks to have been gilded. The object is probably some sort of horse harness or strap fitting (possibly a bridle boss) and probably dates to the medieval period when the use of a central rivet for attachment, and lighter blue enamel was more common. The piece measures 33mm in diameter, 1mm in thickness and weighs 8.03g.
