Horse brasses were used for both decoration and for protection for the horses. Because horses were very important , their owners believed that the early amulet designs of the brasses kept evil spirits from harming the horses. Designs were symbols and shapes which had specific meanings to ward off the evil and to bring good luck. The ancient Greeks and Romans thought the crescent moon was a sign of good luck.
