A post-Medieval probable furniture fitting. Made from copper-alloy the fitting seems to have been fixed by a single central fitting which would indicate a fixture for furniture. It is possible that the fitting could be from a horse harness but the fitting isn't normal for that application. The fitting has a central boss surrounded by eight raised pellets. The rest of the mount is made up of eight petals. Each petal has a central rib which extends from the ring of pellets to roughly three quarters along the petal. The petal then curls upwards toward the edge. The fitting is 57…
