Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy probable decorative harness mount, most likely to be medieval and circa 14th century in date. This mount is roughly circular in shape with a convex front face and hollow back face. It has four evenly spaced integral roughly square projections, two are now incomplete and two remain complete with circular rivet holes through them. It measure 28.8mm in maximum width across the complete projections and 22.4mm in width across the incomplete projections. The domed front face is decorated with circular border grooves and within these a swirling foliate design which has traces of blue enamel within it. There are also traces of gilding on the front face. This mount could be heraldic or perhaps as is more likely merely decorative. | 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 | Temporal: | 1300
