Description: | A cast copper alloy object, which could be a mount relating to horse harness. The object is circular and doomed (with a concave reverse). A moulded design is visible on the front surface of the mount. Twelve wedges have been drawn onto the surface of the mount, with incised lines. Each wedge terminates on the outer edge with a rounded moulding, forming a flower shape. In the centre of the wedges there is an incised circle.
The reverse of the mount is undecorated. A copper alloy attachment spike extends out from the centre of the reverse; it is square in section and bent.
It is heavily corroded on both sides. The surface of the object is heavily pitted. It is a dark brownish-red colour.
The mount is probably 16th ? 18th century in date. | 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: | 1550
