Description: | Cast copper alloy mount or harness stud with anthropomorphic head in the centre, possibly the face of a cherub, looking at the comparanda below. There are four arms that arch out of the central boss creating circular openwork within each arch. Between each of these arches, in each angle, there is a rounded knop at the top of the mount, a four-petalled rosette or quatrefoil at each side, and a fanned collar at the base which may represent part of the bust. There are two integral lugs on opposite edges of the back of the mount which are 14 mm long and taper to a point.Bailey (1992) illustrates a similar harness stud on page 87, no.10, which is datef from the 17th century.Read (2001) illustrates a similar example on page 35, fig.20, no.303, which is dated from the 17th century.
