Description: | A cast copper alloy Post-medieval furniture horse harness bridle boss The mount is oval in plan with a raised central boss surrounded by a ring of pellets. There is an outer ring of moulded rectangles, again in relief, alternating with stylised quatrefoil floral designs, which form the outer border. There is some damage to this outer border and the whole mount is worn with some degregation of the metal. Two integral rivet holes are visible although one is broken; no trace of the rivets or screws themselves survive. Read (1988) illustrates examples of bridle bosses with a similar style of decoration (p180 no.1224; p181 no.1230), which are dated from the 18th century to the 19th century. Bailey (1993) illustrates a similar example (p16 no.4), which has a threaded moulding on the reverse to take an attachment screw, and is dated from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century. Several similar examples have been recorded on this database.
