Description: | Slightly distorted post-medieval copper alloy openwork harness mount with the stumps of a pair of integral round-sectioned attachment spikes on the reverse. There is no sign of gilding. The relief decoration depicting the head of a putto suggests the object is from the same mould as mounts found in Norfolk at Binham (HER 53786, NMS-A2EBD6), Edgefield (HER 58889, NMS-07A677), Flitcham with Appleton (HER 52539, NMS-229707), Sandringham (HER 3257, NMS-9B6280), Stoke Holy Cross (HER 53151, NMS-6F4E68) and Wreningham (HER 56989, NMS-F8774B). Examples from Cley-next-the-Sea, Norfolk (HER 58662, LVPL-604BC3) and York (YORYM-D9A178) are also very similar, and a very abraded piece from north-west Dorset was published by Read (2001, no. 303). Length and width 30.4 and 25mm. 17th century.Field B4 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
