Description: | Complete copper alloy horse harness boss in umbonate form. Post-medieval date. Circular in plan, the diameter is 48mm and it is 19mm thick. Weight 25.84g. The central umbonate form rises in three distinct stages, the final stage resembling a small nipple. A flat border, about 10mm in width, has the remains of three equally spaced dome-headed copper alloy rivets. On the underside, the rivets are incomplete and there is a deposit of iron oxide around the area of each rivet. A portion of the boss at the junction of the flat border and the umbonate part is broken and missing. A small part at the flat edge of the boss is also broken and missing. The boss is generally in poor condition, more so on the rear side than the front. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Frank Basford | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
