Description: | An incomplete copper alloy harness mount, of Late Post Medieval dating (c. 18th to c. 19th Century AD).It is circular in shaped, domed and stepped in profile, with moulded concentric circles and a central circular pellet. On each opposite edge of the mount, there is a circular loop (now incomplete on one side and missing on the other), horizontally flush with the edge. These would have attached the boss to its leather backing.The harness mount measures 37.07 mm in length, 31.40 mm wide and 11.86 mm thick. The metal is 2.05 mm thick. It weighs 10.2 g.The mount is a mid to dark green, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface.Read (2001) illustrates a similar harness mount on page 40, No.387, which dates from the 18th to the 19th century. A similar mount has been recorded on the PAS database as CORN-61B363.Reference:Read, B. 2001. Metal Artefacts of Antiquity. Portcullis Publishing. Langport.
