Description: | A copper alloy Medieval harness mount with a circular convex pendant attached. The upper part of the mount is sub circular and convex with a central conical stud on the underside for attachment to leather. The lower part of the circular mount however extends downwards to form a rectangular projection. This is formed from a single sheet bent around a horizontal bar and cut in the centre to accommodate the pendant's suspension loop. The pendant is circular and convex with a tapered suspension loop at the top, pierced through horizontally by the bar of the mount. It is undecorated.
For a similar pendant type see Clark 1995, p.64 no. 57 and for a similar method of attachment ibid. p.67 no 69. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
