Original copper-alloy decorative horse harness boss / mount with an attractive circular sunburst or floral design.

The front is formed from a central raised boss surrounded by radiating pointed petals or rays within a circular border. The openwork sections between the rays create a particularly striking appearance.

The reverse is plain and retains the original central fixing stud, consistent with attachment to leather horse harness.
