Description: | Cast copper alloy post-medieval gilded mount. Rectangular plate with sub-triangular openwork scrolled finials with a knop at the apex with two integral, circular-sectioned attachment spikes on the reverse, both bent outwards and broken. The front face is decorated in low relief with a row of six pellets at either end before a transverse rib either side of a central motif consisting of opposed scrolls with a transverse bar across the centre and a central pellet. According to Egan; Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition (2005); p39; the two pronged fixture is believed to be characteristic of 17th century harness mounts.
