Description: | Post-medieval harness mount of copper alloy with integral lugs. It is complete although most of the patina is now lost. It measures 55x34mm and weighs 12.90g. It is slightly domed with a thickness of 4mm (excluding the lugs) and the reverse is hollow.
The widest end is trilobed. From this end two grooves cross the mount horizontally and the mount gradually narrows to 26mm half way along its length. The presence of four shallow straight grooves between the corners of the lobes and the first transverse groove is indicated by some remaining black patina.
Half way along the length of the mount, it rapidly narrows to 5mm. This narrow section continues for 5mm before two shallow transverse grooves, again indicated by the remaining patina, mark the begining of a wider section (10mm wide for 7mm). Below this is another shallow transverse groove and a rounded knop.
Five integral lugs are present. Two at the widest end along the central axis of symmetry and one at each edge. The remaining lug is at the narrow end. All are bent.
It probably dates to the 16th or 17th centuries. | 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: | 1500
