Description: | Lead alloy, possibly paintedHarness Boss. Cast discoid mount. A plain central field is surrounded by a circumferential gutter and a cabled border. Ferrous staining on the back, at two opposed points towards the outer edge, may relate to attachment. Part of the border is lost. The display face bears a dark coating, partially spalled away. This may be an original feature, though the finder is an enthusiastic restorer. This reporter has hitherto regarded these objects as of an earlier post-medieval date; however, Griffiths et al. 2007, (Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, page 225, pl. 48 no. 3138) ascribed these to the second half of the 19th century. Suggested date: Modern, 1850-1900.Diameter: 58.2mm, Thickness: 4.9mm, Weight: 77.74gms.
