Description: | Four post-medieval copper alloy harness mounts, each with a pair of integral attachment spikes on the reverse, 17th century:- as Read 2001, no. 292 but without the terminal lobe in the base of the illustration. The spikes are ovoid in cross-section. 24.5 x 8.2mm.- tinned, comprising three lobes, lozengiform in the centre between two ovoid set transversely, very broadly comparable with ibid. no. 310. The ends of the rectangular-sectioned spikes are bent over suggesting a strap(s) thickness of 8mm. 22.2 x 8.7mm.- asymmetrical lozengifrom, with chamfered edges, rectangular-sectioned spikes. 16.2 x 9.6mm.- in the form of a heart with an almost phallic, but angle-ended projection from base. The edges are badly scuffed and there has been some loss of length and width. The spikes, stumps only, are round-sectioned. 17.5 x 11.5mm.Field JH5 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
