Description: | A cast copper alloy harness mount, probably of medieval date AD1200-1400. It is rectangular and has a large, integral fastening spike on the reverse, the point of which has broken off and is missing. The front of the mount is decorated with five broad, shallow grooves, all of which taper to a point at each end and retain much of their gilding. The remainder of the mount displays a rough greenish-grey patina. It is 28.2mm long, 22mm wide and 20.1mm thick (including the spike). It weighs 11.03gm. Similar examples include NMS-D1DFE6, BH-AB2184 and SWYOR-C63331.
