Description: | Cast copper alloy umbonate bridle-boss dating to the 17th century. It has a multifoil, eight large and eight small rounded knops perimeter. The object has a moulded central roundel with asymmetrical openwork. The central roundel has been damaged and its design is therefore unclear. The object has two circular rivet holes, one of which contains iron corrosion. It has a mottled green and redish patina.Similar examples can be found on p149-150 Read, B, (1995).
