Might be for use on a harness. Look on UKDFD:

Not wishing to start a battle TC, just clarification lol. Who's right? You or the UKDFD?

[Steve]

Well done chaps, I had no idea it was that old.

Tosh.. Me? Nope I have been know to be wrong but this one comes from a known Medieval Market site, the black death wiped out everyone there and no one lived there till modern times.
So......

I found an acorn finial, that's why I know about the similar items on UKDFD. They have quite a few on there and list them for use on horse harnesses. Will they stand to being put right on this? I like your description better

Of course not they are Pro's lol
