Nope! But it looks like something you would hang on a door!

Wow a blast from the past. I recall my parents having something like that when I was really young. It hung on the basement wall I think. I think it had more horse type imagery. I wonder where that thing is.

Isn't that a cinch strap from a saddle? C'mon, Texans!?!

Maybe a saddle strap.... decorative breast strap....for horse. Or maybe just something a rich dad beat his kids ass with. I just got a leather belt or a 1x4 w/grip.

Yes, they're horse brasses. Used to decorate shire horse harnesses in the UK.
They were quite popular a couple of hundred years ago and quite often can be seen decorating the interior of old country cottages and ye olde English public houses.
Originals are collectors items but as with most things, the repro market has made them readily available to those who want an olde worlde feel to their residence.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
