Description: | An unusual post-medieval gilt copper alloy umbonate horse harness mount, circular, with a cast classical head in the centre. There is a scrolling motif under the chin, a field of punched dots, and a scalloped border of inward-pointing C-shaped scrolls. There are four inward-pointing oval-sectioned spikes on the reverse. Diameter c. 50mm. It may be compared with broadly similar and related openwork harness fittings in Read (1988), 149-50, nos. 1008-1021. It dates from the late 17th-18th century.
