Description: | Copper alloy Mount. Cast concavo-convex mount in the form of a hollow boss with a moulded rayed cockle shell motif on its front, vertical sides and a flanged rim. Opposed thickened sockets on the back at top and bottom retain iron corrosion from fixing pins; the robusticity of mount and fixing suggests its attachment to leather harness. The condition and style suggest the motif was used for decorative rather than symbolic reasons. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1800.Diameter: 33mm, Height: 13.1mm, Thickness: 2.4mm, Weight: 23.55gms.
