Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Bit Boss first half 17th century probably Netherlandish Bit bosses were ornamental elements decorating both sides of a horse bit. This circular bit boss is adorned with a domed faceted center and a rim presenting a frieze of pointed lobes. This object belongs to a large group of bosses featuring a series of rims and centers combined in different ways. The exact center of production of these bosses is still unclear. If the motifs used are Italian, the scale of the production and the process of combining a series of rims and center recalls contemporary German practices. Some of them, however, are identical or very similar to bosses seen in several early 17th-century Netherlandish paintings, a likely origin for the manufacture of these objects..
