Description: | Cast copper alloy horse-harness mount with a trefoil top with two sets of oblique incised lines, bifid sides defined by four transverse grooves above a triangular terminal tapering to a point. There are four incomplete integral lugs on the upper half of the back of the mount, three in a row and one above, which have broken off in antiquity and since been worn.Read (1988) illustrates similar examples of horse-harness mounts with integral lugs on pages 183-4, Nos.1252 & 1257, which are dated to the 18th century.Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar example of a horse-harness mount on page 87, No.17, which is dated to the 18th century.
