Description: | Pressed copper alloy fragment of a mount, possibly the centre of an umbonate bridle boss, although less robust. The central fleuret has six round petals, which then emanate out into six pointed petals. Within each of the pointed petals is a five-pointed star. One of the pointed petals has broken off, and connected to the tips of two others are the remains of continued openwork decoration with circular apertures.
Read (1988) illustrates an example of a bridle boss with a similar central fleuret on page 150, No.1018, which is dated to the 17th century. | 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: | 1600
