Title |
Medieval Quatrefoil Harness Mount |
||
Description |
English: Large copper alloy quatrefoil harness mount with later adaptations. The front is decorated with IHS incised in black letters, a religious inscription. The lettering is crudely (it appears very worn) scratched on with horizontal incised line hatching as infilling. The back is also decorated but this is not in the same style as the front and is likely to be part of the later alterations made to the item. There appears to be four foliate double ended curls around the outer edge with a cross in a square at the centre. This is more deeply incised than the front decoration. Other later additions are the trefoil projections soldered on to the curved ends of the quatrefoil. Three of these are present but there may have been a fourth projection perhaps a similar one to those which remain, or possibly a suspension loop, or other means of attachment. The projections are possibly of lead alloy with some gilding treces remaining. They are trefoil in shape with a deeply moulded v shape forming the three elements. The ends of each foil are trefoil also formed by two nodules on each end. The finish of the soldering shows file marks and is neater on the IHS side (front) than the other (back). Overall the quatrefoil is very worn but the projections are less so. It has been heavily cleaned. The mount is 15th century in date with the additions made in the 15th - 16th century. Dimensions: 83.66mm x 66.09mm (remaining) x 4.53mm |
