DescriptionA gilt bronze belt plaque or ornament that would adorn a horse bridle or saddle. It has three appendages that are joined by a raised dome in the centre and extend outwards. The top surface is of intricate design (with the thinner parts having worn through - corrosion?) and there is a grey metal plate (tinned?) attached to the back wit a piece of material (felt? leather?) in between. The sides are scalloped.Status
