Description: | The terminal of an Early Medieval (6th century Anglo-Saxon) cast copper-alloy horse harness mount.There is a worn break across the top of the mount, which most likely occurred in antiquity. The remaining panel is sub-triangular, with the two outer edges being slightly concave and the base edge slightly convex. There is no decoration on this panel but a rivet remains on the reverse. Above this panel is the remains of the main stem of the mount, which has grooves and traces of gilding.
