Description: | Medieval copper alloy horse harness fitting measuring 42mm long by 42mm wide and 2mm thick. It is trefoil shaped and has a narrow raised border. In its centre is a shield depicting a rampant lion. This is aligned so that one of the trefoil's three rounded edges forms the base of the mount, with the other two facing outwards and upwards. In the gaps at each side of the shield is a creature, possibly a dog or dragon, climbing up into the rounded sides and facing the shield. Its tail curls around the lower roundel of the object. The reverse has an intact rivet.
