Description: | Incomplete cast lead bridle boss, circular in plan, with a shallow hollow central dome, decorated with an incised star pattern and defined by a beaded circle on the recessed edge of the base. Surrounding the some is a border of moulded foliage, made up of leaves surrounding lozenge-shaped rosettes, alternating with three-leafed clovers. The boss might have been mounted on the leather blinker on a horse's bridle. There are stains from iron attachments on the back of the boss, but the area where part of the boss has been torn away may have held one of the attachments, which was ripped off of the leather.A similar example, YORYM-C073E6, has been recorded from Ryedale in North Yorkshire, and is dated to the 18th century.Read (1988) illustrates a similar example from Kingkerswell in Devon on page 180, No.1228, which is dated from the late 18th century to the 19th century.
