Description: | Copper-alloy mount in the shape of a horse's head, probably from a strap. The neck of the horse is cut off straight, and has a ridge forming the edge. A groove runs up the back of the neck delineating the start of the mane, which has low oblique ribbing. The mane tapers as it goes up the neck, and ends in a forelock which projects upwards in a curve. Below the forelock is an ear in high relief. In front of the ear is a raised crescentric eye. The head is well modelled in low relief and is in a realistic, perhaps classical, style with straight nose. The front of the neck is curved outwards. The reverse is roughly cast and slightly hollowed. There are stubs from two rectangular-section bent-over attachment shanks.
