vintage British horse brasses traditionally used to adorn the leather harnesses of working draft and heavy horses (such as Shires) in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The center pieces are mounted on a leather martingale strap, which hung down the front of the horse's chest. The loose brasses are individual medallions meant to be attached to other parts of the horse tack or added to longer hanging straps. The cast motifs carry traditional folklore or occupational themes. For example, the rooster, stag, and wheat sheaf represent agriculture, farming prosperity, and nature. The swan is a classic regional and heraldic symbol .Modern
