Description: | Cast copper alloy mount. The mount has a central three-dimensional plate which is lozenge shaped, the four sides of the lozenge are raised and form a cross at the apex, there is an incised linear border around the lozenge. Cast integrally at either end of the main body of the mount is a trilobate, decoratively moulded element which has a raised floral design. Each of the three knops at either end has been made to look like rosettes. The elements on the front are all slightly domed, so on the reverse they appear concave. There is an attachment at either end of the mount. The spikes are all damaged, but would have presumably attached the mount to leather. The surface is dark blackish-green. This is probably a decorative brass from a harness, and most likely dates to the 17th-18th centuries.
