Description: | A cast copper-alloy Post Medieval mount with two integrally-cast mount spikes, c. 17th-18th centuries AD. The mount is discoidal and decorated with a central recessed cross design with two further thin incised lines bisecting the quarters created by the central cross decoration. The reverse is undecorated and has two intact integrally-cast mount spikes. There are possible traces of gilding on the outer decorative surface.Mounts with integrally-cast spikes are thought to be common in the 17th and 18th centuries and used as items of horse harness decoration; however similar mounts have been found as decorative elements on other objects as well.
