Description: | Crudely made copper-alloy suspension mount for a horse-harness pendant. It is basically a flat rectangular plate, surviving dimensions 18 mm wide by 14 mm deep, with one end crushed. Occupying most of the other end is a very large perforation. Extending from the centre of one long edge is a projection which has had a slot cut in the centre and then been folded in half around a copper-alloy hinge bar. The slot would originally have accommodated the loop of the pendant. It is a little odd that there is only one perforation in the plate (presumably for a rivet) and that this is off-centre, but on such a crudely made object perhaps the fixing might be expected to be sub-standard. | Subjects: | pendant suspension mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
