Description: | Gilt copper alloy horse harness mount, elaborate quatrefoil with each foil or lobe domed and hollow-backed, the four lobes (one of which is broken, possibly where suspension-loop is missing if a pendant?, but unlikely) are separated by four small rounded triangular projections, and the body is decorated with engraved curved lines echoing the form of the bosses between a central saltire pierced by five circular perforations, one in the centre and one at the end of each arm with a large central globular-headed rivet and two others at opposed ends surviving. 46 x 46mm. Cf. another mount from Acle (Norfolk HER 42590). 12th century.
