Description: | A copper-alloy harness pendant suspension mount, to which a pendant would have been attached, 46mm in length and 15mm in width. The plate is shaped like two lozengiforms seperated by a rectangular section, the bottom tip of the last lozengiform flares into a split hinge with the remains of an iron pin through it. The back face of the plate has two circular studs, one in the centre of each lozengiform, these would have attached the plate to a leather strap. Similar harness pendant suspension mounts with and without pendants attached have been found in Winchester and have been dated to the mid to late 13th century (Biddle 1990, 1051-1052, Fig 337). | Subjects: | Harness pendant suspension mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
