Description: | A cast copper-alloy horse brass mount of post-Medieval or Modern date, c. 1600-1900.The brass is largely complete, with damage to it its flanged rim. Overall, it is hemispherical in shape with a central boss. Moulded decoration radiations out from the boss to the outer edges of the base, replicating a shell-like appearance. The remaining segments of base rim suggest circular perforations would have taken rivets to attach the brass. There is a very worn surface of gilding that is mostly preserved in the grooves of the decoration. The concave interior is undecorated.
