Description: | Incomplete post-medieval copper alloy harness mount, flat with one of two integral attachment spikes bent inward on the reverse. In the centre of the front in counter relief is the head of a putto within a beaded border. Loops, emanating from the chin and the top of the head join at the side of the head as swags, forming four apertures (one broken). Circular knop at apex, scallop shell at base. Cose to mounts from Binham, Norfolk (HER 53786, NMS-A2EBD6) and Flitcham with Appleton (HER 52539, NMS-229707). Examples from Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk (HER 58662, LVPL-604BC3) and York are also very similar (YORYM-D9A178), and a very abraded piece from north-west Dorset was published by Read (2001, no. 303). Length 31mm. Width 25mm. 17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
