Description: | A copper-alloy mount, which, it is suggested, is a bridle-boss of late 15th to 16th century AD date (B.Read; 2001; pp. 29).The object is circular in plan, measuring 53.3mm in diameter. The outer area is flat, measures 0.6mm thick and is decorated with a single indented line close to its outer edge. The tops of three rivets are located within the outer section; they appear to take the form of flower heads. At the centre of the mount is a domed boss with a stepped and rounded projection at the top. One the reverse, the hollow central boss can be seen, as can the back of the rivets, attached to which are traces of iron corrosion. The mount is bent and corroded. It measures 13.7mm high and weighs 14.93g.
