Description: | Cast copper alloy horse harness mount, circular in plan and domed and stepped in profile, with a flattened, recessed edge around the circumference of the mount, about 4 mm thick. There are five incised circles with arcs behind them at the apex of the mount, which form a rosette. On the back of the mount, there are two integral lugs remaining on opposite edges, one is complete and curved into a hook and still 9 mm long and the other now is only 6 mm long. Read (1988) illustrates a similar harness mount on page 148, No.1003, which dates from the 17th to the 18th century.Read (2001) illustrates a similar domed mount with integral pointed lugs on page 33, Fig.18, No.267, which is dated to the 17th century. The style of decoration in the form of punched rosettes can be found on other 17th-century mounts, such as on illustrated on page 36, Fig.21, No.317, and spurs, such as one illustrated on page 65, Fig.41, No.502.
