Description: | Irish Gilt copper alloy mount. The mount is flat and in the form of a long animals neck terminating with two open-mouthed beasts in profile. The neck of the beast is roughly rectangular and is decorated with a gilt chip-carved panel. Two triangular ears are depicted, one in each corner, next to which the large oval eyes are located. The snouts and lower jaws are each decorated with a row incised lines, the snouts terminating with an upturned snout. There is a rivet hole in between the two heads at the terminal. The object may be from a harness mount.
