Description: | A cast copper-alloyharness mount of medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1400. It is shield shaped and has an integral mounting stud, set slightly off centre, on the reverse. There are traces of a green-coloured deposit on the surface, perhaps representing degraded enamel.Similar shaped mounts are illustrated in Clark 2004, The Medieval Horse and its Equipment, page 70, number 80. There are also a number of similar mounts on the database: see for example, YORYM-3C6050, and LIN-BDA6AB.
