Description: | Cast copper alloy horse harness mount, circular in plan and domed and stepped in profile, with a raised beaded edge and a central circular stud, about 8 mm in diameter. On one surviving edge of the mount, there is a circular loop, horizontally flush with the edge, 12 mm in diameter, which would have attached the boss to its leather backing. There was presumably another loop on the opposite edge of the boss, now missing.Read (1988) illustrates a similar harness mount on page 184, No.1261, which dates from the 18th to the 19th century.Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar example with a central securing rivet on page 90, No.50, which dates from the 18th to the 19th century.
