Description: | Copper alloy possible harness boss. Cast flat disc with an integrally cast tapered blunt square section fixing pin on the back. The pin has been bent to 90 degrees, either to hook over a strap or after passing through fairly thin leather. The hammering necessary to achieve this has perhaps contributed to the very slight protrusion of the centre of the plate. This is simpler than many comparable objects and is also unusually weighty. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1700.Diameter: 49mm, Thickness (clear of spike): 4.1mm, Weight: 52.40gms.
